As a newly minted collective of like-minded creative individuals, the ladies at Parliament of Owls created a set of three holiday cards, with each member designing their own card. From top to bottom, you can see Ariana’s dinner, Meg’s “Piggy 5000”, and Lauren’s meat-cut deer. While each card has its own flavor, no pun intended, they are all united by the vibrant and merry color palette that has been deeply letterpressed into the thick Lettra stock.
