Floral Cards You Can Print in a Hurry...(And More)

Hello there, and hope all is very well with you and yours today.

And yes, as you've probably guessed this post *does* contain links to lots of my floral printables, if you're in a part of the world celebrating Mother's Day next Sunday (12th May 2024). Like this flower-pot-shaped card sheet...

Most of these can be used year-round...

 But, if you're reading this at any time and are in need of a quick card or some printable wrap, most of my sheets can be used for lots of different occasions too, and at any time of year. The card sheets, for example, have labels on them to make them suitable for birthdays and/or other celebrations.

And...

And, if you're reading this in the UK, and happen to be in 2024 as you're reading too, you may be scratching your head, and/or panicking. If so, please take a nice, deep, breath. You're right, UK Mother's Day was and always is in March. It's just that I know a lot of my readers live in other parts of the world, and I very much want to make sure that everyone is included in posts wherever possible.

Finally...

Finally, thought that you might also want a sneak peak at some work-in-progress, regardless of your location. 

Well, actually, not quite "regardless", because this watercolour line and wash sketch is most likely to become a "New Home" card. It just doesn't have any of the fancy design round it yet. Watch this space for that.

(Line and wash watercolour/Krita 5
digital watercolour combination).

I'll keep you posted on the progress of this design and in any event, thank you *so* much for reading down this far.


Next week, am doing a design mini-course/challenge, so I don't yet know if  I'll be posting then, or the week after. But I can say that there will be...

More soon.

Thrive: Bright New Tulip Painting

Thrive, by Clare Walker.
Available on Redbubble.Com

Hello there, and as ever, I hope life is treating you well.

This week, it felt like time to offer you something *really* bright and cheerful. We first saw these tulips in Holland Park, west London, last weekend.

And in a spring that's still to get going full-time (I'm wearing a winter jumper and two layers as I type this) their brightness was *such* a huge beacon, as they danced by their yew hedging...

There's something about them that's so cheering and full of "get up and go," isn't there?

So, I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise when those there tulips almost began to draw themselves, (and in a wilder, freer way than I'm used to) as soon as we got home.

Once the art was done...

Once the art was done, something still felt undone. And there seemed no better word to add as a finishing touch, given all that, "get up and go," than, "Thrive".

I hope you like this design too, and can get any and all the energy you need from it, whether life itself is revving you up or not.

Should it float your boat, it turns out, not surprisingly, that this design also shines rather scrumptiously elsewhere too.

Such as on magnets and stickers...

Above all, thank you for being here, and for reading down this far.

Have a good week.

More soon.
