Fine line work demands a surface that won't let ink bleed or feather. Strathmore's 2-ply Bristol construction provides that stability, giving pen and ink artists the confidence to layer intricate hatching or push marker coverage without the paper buckling. The smooth surface accepts crisp lines from technical pens, fine-point markers, and detailed pencil work with equal precision.

Pre-scored greeting card format eliminates the measuring and folding that can compromise clean presentation. Each sheet folds to create a professional card ready for your artwork, whether you're designing handmade invitations, creating illustrated thank-you notes, or developing a small series of greeting cards. The 70lb deckled-edge envelopes included with each pack add a refined, handcrafted touch that complements original artwork.

This Bristol weight strikes the practical balance between substantial feel and efficient storage, cards feel quality without requiring excessive postage, while the moderate thickness maintains drawing precision. Artists developing small product lines or creating personalized correspondence find this format handles professional presentation without the setup of full sheet Bristol. Focus on the illustration work itself rather than engineering the card structure.
