New Birthday Card - Happy Birthday Roses

March 18, 2013

Back in November, I spent some vacation time brainstorming and doodling new designs. Getting outside of my studio and being away from the usual distractions of home was great for getting the creative juices flowing. One of my favorite designs that came out of this time is a bright and bold birthday card. 



Much of my collection is inspired by flowers; however, many of my newer designs (to be released this spring and at the National Stationery Show in May) are also heavily influenced by geometrics. This pieced "rose" design came out of a doodling session. When designing the card, I knew I did not want a set pattern; I wanted the roses to be more free flowing. I also really wanted to experiment with bold pops of color - rich oranges, pinks, reds, and purples set against a deep turquoise green. I'm really excited by how the card turned out and am happy to finally share it with you! Check it out in the shop here.
