a is for aardvark afraid of the dark - 2 cards - plum

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:59:23 -0500

$4.75
These super-cute cards are perfect for any occasion. Our wary little aardvark friend is afraid of the dark, but he has his glowing nightlight to keep him safe from any monsters that may be lurking in the shadows.

The cards are letterpress printed with metallic purpley-blue ink on plum cards. Each card was guided through the press by hand, with love and care. Letterpress printing is a relief process--the text and image are impressed into the cards, adding a tactile element of craftsmanship.

The card measures about 4.25" wide by 5.5" tall (A2 size). They are sold in pairs and come with a lavender envelope for each card. They are blank inside for your message.
