Printed card design from original Cyanotype design of a mere, Vetch, Cow Parsley, Celandine, Forget-me-not and Ferns.
Lovely card for Swallow lovers and could be used for many occasions (it's blank inside for your own message) - birthday, thank you, sympathy, christening, get well, anniversary etc...
To create the original I used the old photographic process of cyanotype - a light sensitive solution is applied to watercolour paper, a large format negative placed on with actual Vetch, Cow Parsley and Ferns then exposed to sunlight, the solution is then rinsed off and the paper dried, fixing the image.
Nature is at the heart of my work. The 300gsm card is FSC accredited, supplied with a ribbed brown 100% recycled envelope in an eco-friendly clear wrap (made from corn starch these are fully biodegradable and compostable). Card measures 10.5 x 15cm.
