Watercolor Business Cards
I’ve been printing a lot lately, here are some cards I made for my friend Aubrey. Letterpress paper takes watercolor really nicely (100% cotton). For these I printed with white ink which gives the text a little more legibility than if you just do a blind deboss. Then I went over each one with a little water color. I love that they are simple and each one is different.

IN. LOVE. with these. bravo.
these are gorgeous. jordan, i feel like you're on a roll after the birth of your baby! you're always good, but lately you're really good! how do you do it?
Did you have any problems with the paper curling or did you prep the paper ahead of time?
i love these SO much.
we did a letterpress bridal shower invitation with watercolor for a splash of color in the flowers. it's such a beautiful contrast with the letterpress impression/crisp type.
How pretty!
I love these cards!

p.s. did you seal it with spray or anything? thanks for sharing!
These are beautiful! First time on your blog…it's lovely.. I hope everything went well with your' little man's surgery…
These cards (among your other work) are amazing! I'm just starting out fresh from college as a graphic designer, and am so envious that you have a letterpress! I never learned how, and I am enamored with embossing, debossing, etc etc.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! I love love love those! I wish I needed something printed!
