A Handful of New Cards

11/11/2016

I will be offering a handful of new cards soon! After having several requests for matte paper, I decided to create a new line of them. These cards feature thick 16pt paper stock. With a light satin coating on the outside illustration, the inside is left uncoated, making it easier for you to write your message. This premium matte stock gives each card the look of the original watercolor illustration. I love the way they've turned out! Keep an eye out for them in the shop in the next few weeks.

Update: check out the cards in my shop!

Here are three new illustrations, mainly created for some Valentine cards. I can't believe I've never incorporated a pug into a painting before - they're so fun to illustrate! You can find these critters on some new cards on Zazzle (find the links below), and soon to be added to The Inky Octopus.

Pug Love: card, sticker, postcard.
Kitty Loaf: card, sticker, postcard.
Kitty & Yarn Heart: card, postcard.
