Friends and family are my inspiration

Friends and family really are my inspiration. It is when I create work for people that I know, I feel that images just come to me. It makes me want to do my best work too, so that they know how special they are.



I try to put the same energy into every card I do as it's really important to me that a card 'sings' and has the right energy. 

Below are the stages of development of a card for my friends who have just had a baby girl. 


It all starts pretty basic, just getting some colours down. My friend has a thing for orange and turquoise though so I knew I wanted those as foundation colours.


I made some tiny fairy stamps to represent the new baby and played around a little bit with the placement of different stamps.


Things are starting to take shape at this stage, but with the new baby called Flora, I simply had to add more flowers!

    Hope Flora's Mum frames this and gives it to Flora when she is old enough to understand how special her keepsake is.
