Letterpress Dogwood Flower Blank Cards

When I found this vintage dogwood flower cut, I knew I had to print it. The detail on the flowers was beautiful and the shape the cut creates is really unique.

I have some dogwood flowers tattood on my arm and they are one of my favorite flowers - so I knew whatever I did, I would like these cards.

I used some cover weight lavender paper and metallic ink on a proofing press. It ended up looking beautiful and I am happy with the results.

The shape of the branch fits so lovely across the front of the card. I thought they would look lovely with cream envelopes so I ordered some. I hope to find more vintage flowers to use soon. You can now buy a card on etsy!
