Ditsy Bloom

Looking ahead for the Spring & Summer is the Ditsy Bloom greetings collection I drew up for the The Great British Card Company collections. With it's bold brights and touches of luxury in the gold foiling Ditsy Bloom is a fantastic range of everyday birthday captions & relations. 

Featuring a fresh colour palette of fun pinks, china blues and hot corals Ditsy Bloom brightens up the shelves. The illustration style picks up on traditional ditsy fabrics with their fine details and contrasts this with florid bold text & icons. The collection enjoys our favourite celebrations with cheerful party decorations, garden florals or a moment with a lovely cuppa. Each card is packed with a craft paper envelope. Ditsy Bloom cards launched at PG Live 22 and are available in the shops & garden centres. Trade orders can be made direct from The Great British Card Company.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!! A little hello from me in 2023 as I return to the studio. 

Before the holidays I came across some lovely old illustrations from a vintage pack of children's memory cards. It's interesting how many of the icons were still up to date as recently as 2022.

I love the stamped addressed letter card artwork complete with scribbles and a postmark. This is something that will change in 2023 with the latest barcoded stamps which are causing some controversy, Note: The old style stamps need to be used by January 31st. It's a small thing but by digitising stamps do we lose something of the uncomplicated charm of letter writing we love? Those manila envelopes are still going strong though! 

I'm interested to see how the coins will change with the King's image. Here's hoping ink fountain pens and butterfly cupcakes make a return.
