You can mix and match quantities of your chosen designs. Product Materials: Scented red envelopes, printmaking ink (gold/black). A Gentle Reminder: • Each red envelope is entirely handmade and hand-printed. Slight imprints along the edges and the unique feel of hand-printing are characteristic of this artisanal process and not machine-made imperfections. • The ink used is "oil-based" printmaking ink. Once dry, it is water-resistant. If accidentally exposed to water, simply let the envelope air dry naturally, and the design will not smudge. • The packaging will include reinforced cardboard to prevent creasing or damage during transit. • This is a pre-order item, as the ink requires 4-5 days to dry. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4589/25686962948_27a60d5306_o_d.jpg
