This silhouetted classic ampersand is a hand-printed from a hand-carved linocut of my own design. The typography symbol is Inked in rich, classic black on the front of a textured ivory card with a deckled back edge, with an ivory envelope to match. Stunningly simple, this card is perfect to send for any occasion or none at all, but is especially ideal or a wedding or birth, the 'and' symbol conveniently indicating the new addition. And if you think it's too pretty to write in, it fits in a standard 5 x 7 inch frame fro easy hanging. Since every card is printed by hand, by me, your card will be truly one of a kind.

::THE PROCESS::
Each linocut, block print and card in my shop is printed by hand, by me in my home studio and so, may differ slightly from the one pictured. See the steps that go into creating each one here:
