Birth announcement card

Hurray! A few weeks ago, our daughter Elin was born. We wanted the design of her birth announcement card to reflect her name, and also to connect with the card we designed for our son Kai. To us, the most appealing meanings of the name Elin go in the directions of sparkling, pretty, and a waterfall. Our design focusses on a collection of bright shining stars.

After experimenting with paper and ink colors, we decided to use white and random tints of purple printed on dark green paper for the front side of the card, and random tints of purple and green printed on white paper for the back side. Again, we made eight different versions of the card, fitting neatly on A3+ sized paper.
