I’m loving the watercolor trend emerging in design and stationery right now and had to share a few favorites. There is something so quietly beautiful about the sheer colors of watercolor paint that lends a wonderfully special touch to invitations, envelopes, save the dates, business cards and whatever assorted paper ephemera might be your flavor of the day. A soft wash of color and a great textured paper are my latest stationery obsession.
