Our dark seasons card has been created with the idea that light and dark colors transition easily between one another. We've used metal stamping for our words on the surface to create texture on fine details and highlight the beauty of a written word. As you move through the page, dark violet hues give way to lighter blue hues and the opaque white flowers cast shadows when placed under bright lights. The inside is blank, hi-brite purple, perfect for a myriad of ink colors. 

This card is perfect for anyone who appreciates the subtle and stark beauty in both light and dark.

Vivid Transitions

To create the feeling of transition we sometimes experience, we tested several gradients of black and purple hues to purposefully blend colors that result in a natural continued color spectrum. The lightening effect from the top to the bottom of the card allow us to better see the vivid gold letters that are etched on the surface.

Lights And Shadows

Fortifying our contrast of white flowers and dark purple colors was our decision to use plastic and paper materials. We used UV printing on 0.1 mm plastic - an initially surprising choice of materials for our cards - but visually stunning when we saw the results. The excellent resolution that UV printing creates allows us to experience light shadows from a number of angles.

Sun Printing

As seasons change and the sun reappears or disappears, you'll see the shadows dance through the cover. Keep the card under the sun long enough and you might start to see the shadows permanently leave their mark on paper - a process that naturally occurs in sun printing - one of the oldest and beautiful ways to print images. 

Collectable Memory

We want you to remember the joy you brought someone by sending them a YS Note, which is one of the reasons we designed an optional 3/8-inch storage envelope for you to preserve your own letters and notes. Each time you purchase a YS Note, you have the option to purchase a keepsake storage envelope that you can enjoy and reuse. As you send more YS Notes, you'll find yourself with your own collection of beautiful storage keepsakes, a reminder of all the times you let someone know you were thinking of them. The possibilities of what you keep and how you arrange them are endless. Visit our keepsake storage envelope page for more details.
