A White Christmas is a magical thing. Sleds, snowmen, bunny slopes. However, our friends who enjoy ocean breezes and tennis in December have a quite a magical thing going, too.
To celebrate twinkling lights strung around palm trees and Christmas dinner on the dock, we offer our Coastal holiday card series. This year, four new hand-engraved designs were added to create a more well-rounded collection.
New hues, new imagery, new inspiration: Here’s a peek inside The Making Of our new Coastal designs.
- Colors
“The colors chosen reflect our traditional red and gold, which you will see throughout the designs,” said VP of Creative & Product Development Rachel V. Ivey, “but we’ve added brighter greens as well as a pop color, pink and a metallic blue to add visual interest to the designs.”
We punched up the green on our Adirondack Chairs to liven up the greenery…
On the Coastal Doorway, we pulled in a bluish green hue that is more representative of coastal greenery…
The Flamingos are a pop of pink that is very close to our Hibiscus stock…
For the Glass Buoy, we used an amazing metallic blue that is a custom mix that gives this design some extra glitz…
- Imagery & Inspiration
Shells, greenery and, of course, the beach were all images used to inspire the artist, who ultimately created a collection of designs that will appeal to our customers in the coastal regions of the country — as well as anyone who simply years for a season with sand in her toes.
