a swiss baby

surely i told y'all that calliespondence is now an international, global-reaching company with clients located all over the world?  (snicker)  if you missed the press release in the WSJ...via etsy, i happen to have garnered a few clients across the pond.  well, a few ponds actually.  i've done several projects for clients in australia (and let me tell you, it takes awesome willpower to not open an email with "g'day mate!") and designed a birth announcement for a new bambino in switzerland, which i will feature today.

the new mama asked me to design a foldover birth announcement because she wanted room on the inside of the card at the top to write a little note to the recipients.  isn't that so charming?!  it reminded me of old christmas cards from the 80's that my mom and i go through from time to time - it's so fun to read all of the notes written on them.  i like that.

we mounted a photograph on navy blue stock and placed it inside the card, to the left of the all-important stats...  first birth announcement i've designed with weight in kilos and length in centimeters!  i feel so euro.

nothing neutral about this for me - i love the feminine lilac paired with the strong navy and the unexpectedness of the foldover format.

even if you live abroad, you can still be a calliespondence client!
