Chic and bold

I am not a fan of seeing those cheesy red envelopes meant for Chinese New Years at weddings... They usually have random patterns on them, festive, yes, stylish, NO. When I worked on an invitation project that had a double luck design, I thought to myself: I think I can make a really chic money envelope with it". Here I am, looking at this elegantly dressed hand crafted red envelope. It has everything an Asian wedding need: Red, Double luck mofit, and sized just right to accommodate some cash or a check :) 



The envelope is made with heavy cardstock in a rich deep red, then embellished with a letterpressed Double luck motif.




I think newly weds would be very happy to open envelopes like this! I know I would!
