Personal stationery - why I love it


I have just designed a couple of notelet, correspondence cards for myself and for a present for my friend.  The cockerel has been painted by my friend Allie Pottinger, who is an excellent watercolour artist, exhibiting this week in Cheshire.








I have used these as correspondence cards, but they can be used as thank you's, birthday invites , anything really. I have chosen the rich dark blue surround, but they can be left plain.

I am also having printed some linings to match, I just can not wait to send them out.
The hand lined envelopes are fabulous, such a luxurious extra.

















For a softer version I have also designed and printed the magnolia note card, again it can be used as a correspondence card, birth day invite anything really. I also lined an envelope to match, I am sending these as a present for my friends 40th, she is the lady who has everything, so it is a perfect 40th birthday present I hope. Watercolour by Allie Pottinger again - how did you guess.
