Carte chapeaux rouges/éloignement

The black letterpress ink stands out perfectly against the white cotton paper, giving it an elegant, handmade feel. I sent this to my sister during a tough holiday, and the dark humor helped break the ice without being too heavy. Blank inside was the right call for adding my own short note.

The cotton paper has a lovely soft texture that makes the dark ink really pop, and the sentiment is so darkly hilarious it perfectly captures my family dynamic. Bought a few as dark holiday cards for my siblings.

The letterpress ink is so crisp against the white cotton that the joke lands even harder, and the blank inside gives me room to add my own punchline. Sent this to my sister as a peace offering — the brown bag envelope made it feel like a tiny, perfectly awkward gift.
