the way I see the world
… and this may be it. I wanted flora in red, but didn’t want all of one kind. So here you go: a dahlia, camellia (with the name Yuletide!), begonia, rose, tulip, hibiscus, cyclamen, and anemone.
And yes, I have more reds to choose from. Collection #2, maybe? We’ll see
My card collections are always 8 cards. Always. Well … except when they are sixteen. But never nine. So how will I choose which of these to cut, I wonder? (No, I’m not saying you need to tell me: it really is a decision I have to make!)
Or maybe I should just have a special edition, nine card collection. Hmm.
In any case, it was fun to search on “Papaver” to find all these red poppies. I began all this because I was searching for images I could use for a new Christmas collection after posting the earlier poppy (in the center of this grouping … and possibly the weak link, really), but honestly I don’t think these work for Christmas. Still, I do like them, and they make pretty cards.
(I noted in the subject that these are the small card images. That’s because they are cropped for that size. Larger cards will show more of the original image, most likely. )
UPDATE: I’ve now printed 5×7 cards. To give you an idea of what the difference is (rather minimal, really, but do you notice it? I prefer these ones below.) between the crops, here are those images:
I just printed 16 new cards of beautiful roses on linen card stock, thus the name “Romance on Linen”. I will be posting all the images soon (I’m trying to decide if I should make a box of 16 or break this into two boxes), but for now please enjoy this image.
One more … and I think this is the final boxed set of Christmas/Holiday cards I’ll do.
I will soon be putting together some boxed sets (singles available as well, of course) for the upcoming holidays. As a reminder, I do have cards that work well for autumn also! My pumpkin selection certainly works:
As do these two beautiful roses (aptly named Pumpkin Patch):
I also have fall leaves and some gorgeous tulips that work. Just ask!
Here is yet another image that is included in my new Iris boxed set. Thinking of shopping and the Covid issue? Shopping online on the Card Collection page is easy and very safe!
Here is one of the iris photos I hadn’t yet posted here, that I’ve included in my Iris Collection.
(Please do keep in mind that different sizes will have a different crop. This is a full size image, which is how my premium prints are done.)
I now have three 2020 card collections. Yesterday I put together Flora in Yellow and today it was Rich Purples. Below are the Collection Card images, which get put on the back of the boxed sets.
