potw: watercolor

the potw is back! and continuing with the theme of print pieces that marry letterpress techniques with hand details, we're talking about watercolor today.

incorporating dreamy watercolors into your print pieces really makes them something special. and because they're done by hand, each piece is its own one-of-a-kind work of art. i'm all about a good labor of love.

here are some beautiful examples i dug up:

by the aerialist press

by juniper and juno

by lennah press 

by jessica jones via how about orange | also available as a free download here 

by paper krush 

by printerette press 

by linda and harriet via minted

transparent, airy color alongside the deep impressions from letterpress? it's beautiful.

i'm working on a baby shower invitation for my sister, and this technique is being given some serious consideration at the moment.

what's your take?
