This mini collection is inspired by the garden of one of my oldest neighbours. Every time I passed their garden I wanted to draw their flowers. They invited me to take photos one afternoon and I knew it would end up being a pattern collection some day when the perfect brief came along. That day [...]

These cute little cats were designed as a personal project to show some die cut greeting cards and gift tags. The white ovals on the cards would be die cut around the butterflies, dragonflies or bees to reveal the inside of the card.

The rain doesn't have to make you miserable when you have a pretty heart print umbrella.
