Once again, I'm struck by how the card manufacturers are now replicating hand-made cards. It used to be the other way around - how things have changed!
Congrats on your forthcoming book. x
Oh my gosh, Clinton have really done an about turn with these. In fact I would dare to say that I love them far more than recent offerings I've seen in Next and M&S and would have assumed these were a new Paperchase range had I not read on!
They're right on trend with the quirky but not spooky owls, the stylised kitty cat and the little fabric banner is so now... Sometimes I think it's a shame I don't have to card shop any more, but window shopping can be equally rewarding! LOL
It's really annoying I think, to mass market 'handmade' looking cards, kind of defeats the object :-(
they had to do something, i gave up going in there a long time ago.
I'm loving all the print presses I'm finding on Etsy at the mo though.
