Jacqueline Wilson inspired birthday card

Another hand made card post. My cousin is a huge fan of the author Jacqueline Wilson in particular the children's book 'candyfloss'. After researching the book cover design by Nick Sharratt, I got to work on her birthday card. I tried to use aspects of the book cover but created my own character version of my cousin, which she loved!

VW Camper

So today I made a birthday card for my boyfriends grandmother, she is a huge lover of the Volkswagen camper vans and the green ones in particular and yes her name is Eunice. Wish I'd have had time for a better photograph.

Robot Valentines

I'm not the biggest fan of Valentine's and all the money it costs (also it shouldn't all be about one day). So this year, I decided to save some money and make my card. My boyfriend is a big fan of robots and online I've seen examples of a chocolate robot, where the body is made of a bar of chocolate so I got some Bournville (my boyfriends favourite) wrapped it in normal kitchen foil and made it into the robot I normally draw for him (plus a love heart to make it seem a little romantic). To keep with the theme, I had some old tags laying around, which I stuck a miniature version of the robot onto. I kept the colours the same and since I had some time I made a little pattern to place inside the envelope. All in all I'm happy with the outcome. I think I'll do this from now on. Not only did it save me money but I wouldn't have found a card I liked better. I apologise in advance for the rushed photographs, but I had to get it done before he came home!

Happy Valentine's!
