It was a very productive weekend working on Christmas cards of all things! Bit of a messy process. More new greeting cards coming soon so keep an eye on the shops creative monsoon and my etsy store.
This beautiful artwork was made by cutting a pattern into white textured wallpaper then filling the spaces with colourful handmade paper. A great idea by Box64 Studios. I'm sure this is the textured wallpaper mum used in the bathroom..? Have you got any left mum?
