A friend asked me to create a few tent cards for a wine tasting event she was hosting for her neighborhood homeowners association. The original execution were hand painted 4 x 3.5'' tent cards featuring soft watercolors which allowed for a decorative touch in front of each of the bottles. Guests truly appreciated the ability to read about the wine without having to bend over and hoist the bottle in order to read the label.
The appeal of these cards compelled me to make signature sets and after a few conversations with reps from specialty stores I discovered that ''beverage stationery'' does not exist, despite a demand from their customers. I'd like to create a few sets for cheeses, beer and champagne as well. The sets assist with a decorative touch that also showcases the spirit or hors d'oeuvers you are serving for a dinner or cocktail party. The cards are original watercolors and the sets are named for regions or vintages that I thought applied to the artwork.
These are the first three sets I have created, with more to come.
