Spring Flowers Mini Collection

Spring has finally sprung, and boy are we ready for it!

This collection was inspired by a selection of watercolour paintings and sketches that I’ve created over the last few weeks, documenting the fresh spring flowers that start appearing at this time of year.

I wanted to take the time to create some paintings, and see where it took me. I’ve experimented with lots of different materials, and these are the designs that made the final cut.

I went on a walk today and came across a churchyard with a full carpet of crocuses and snowdrops. It was so beautiful. I definitely feel like the lockdowns over the last year have helped me to appreciate the changing of the seasons.



I wanted to create a collection that captured the colours of spring and would suit lots of different occasions. You can choose from 4 different A6 cards, which are based on my original watercolour paintings. I also like to add details with pen and ink, oil pastels and coloured pencils.

I can also add a handwritten message to your card, if you’d like me to send it directly to the recipient. Just add a note at the check out.

Alongside these cards, I’ve also created some cute note cards, featuring my two favourite designs in the collection. They come in sets of 6 A7 cards, with kraft envelopes, all tied up with jute ribbon. They make the perfect gift for mothers day or a special birthday.
