This week's selection is such an inspiration! Designed by Made Thought and produced by Identity Print in the U.K. for G.F Smith's Colorplan line of papers, this brochure is the embodiment of style and simplicity. Designed to promote the winning color in their "World's Favorite Color" contest, G.F Smith created a gorgeous new sheet in the winning shade - Marrs Green.
You'll be amazed at the wrap and tuck format they created, and the beautifully understated white foil stamp and blind embossing. It's paper perfection!
