Vintage Fruit Label Cards

I thought it might be interesting to post a product of the week and give you some insight into the design process/inspiration behind them. So, I'm starting with some of the new products, the Vintage Fruit Label Cards.

Here at Rosebud Design Studio, we (by which I mean "I") have a bit of a problem (read: obsession) with vintage graphics, packaging, etc. You might even have noticed – I wouldn't blame you if you did.

These cards are based on turn of the century fruit and vegetable labels. I found a bunch of excellent reference on the Internet, which you can see below. However, I always like to create something different for Rosebud. In this case, I wanted to add some occasional cards to the line, so I selected fruits I thought I could write "happy birthday", "congrats", "I'm sorry", and anniversary copy for.
