A Little Drop of Poison
A Little Drop of Poison
When Paper, Purple Foil, and Gmund Arsenic Agree With Each Other
Some business cards try to impress.
This one doesn’t have to.
It simply exists—
with weight, with colour, with an unmistakable confidence—
and the moment someone picks it up,
you can feel the shift.
Because this is not a card.
It’s a statement in your hand.
The Foundation: Gmund Arsenic
Everything begins with the stock.
Gmund Action Vibrant Arsenic is one of those rare papers that doesn’t whisper or shout—
it hums.
A vivid, electric green with a history-laced name, it looks almost backlit when it catches the light.
It’s not fashionable.
It’s not safe.
It’s alive.
Most people choose paper as an afterthought.
For this piece, the paper chooses you.
The card straight off the press still needing to be cut to size.
Duplexed. Weighted. Intentional.
We bonded two sheets together to give the card its unmistakable heft.
The moment you pick it up, your thumb presses into something that No flex.
No cheap shortcuts.
Just certainty.
The Foil: A Precise Drop of Poison
Purple foil on green should not work.
On this stock, in this light, under this pressure — it absolutely does.
The metallic violet sits on the surface like a quiet spell.
When the angle is right, the foil blooms.
When the angle shifts, it retreats into the paper as if it were always part of the fibre.
Craft, when done correctly, disappears into inevitability.
More Than a Card. A Position.
“A Little Drop of Poison” was never meant to be a product.
It became a manifesto:
• Elevate the ordinary.
Paper and foil are humble materials — until intention is applied.
• Craft creates connection.
Digital evaporates.
Weight endures.
• Refuse the bland.
The world has enough forgettable print.
This is the antidote.

If you want your first impression to feel like this —
