Some cards are multi-purpose.

I'm going to include some card designs under a general category. These cards won't have a greeting or sentiment on the front so this way you can use the card for any occasion. Using Createtoday you can add your own greeting to the front as well as adding a message inside the card. Unfortunately when CreateToday became MyDoodle only the front of the cards were made available i.e. no inside or back images. This may have changed when you read this

My first design in this category features a enhanced photo of a wild dog rose. 

This card would be suitable for numerous occasions including the upcoming Mothers' Day.

The actual images for use are of much higher quality than those used here.

Birthday card for steam train enthusiast

Steam trains seem to be one mode of transport that has a special place in many people's heart.


Whereas once it was just another way to travel now a journey by steam train is a special treat for some and a step into nostalgia for others.


I added a sepia tint to this card to try to capture some of that nostalgia. It could make a good choice for the train enthusiasts in your life.

Unfortunately when CreateToday became MyDoodle only the front of the cards were made available i.e. no inside or back images. This may have changed when you read this

Get well soon card

I've been adding some more cards to my portfolio. One is a Get Well card and features Guzzler. This image is taken from a story that I illustrated which tells of a farmyard pig who ate everything he could find including all the food for the other animals and washing from the farmer's wife's washing line!

To teach him a lesson the farmer ordered lorry loads of old vegetables which he gobbled up leaving him with a very unhappy stomach. One image seemed to lend itself to a get well soon card!

Valentine

Valentine's day will be coming up shortly and so I have turned my design attention to a couple of Valentine's cards.


Valentine's day is said to be the day when the birds choose their mates so what better subject to have on a Valentine than two doves fluffing up to one another. This pair were photographed in our garden.

My second card features a heart shaped potato grown by our plot neighbours and would make an ideal valentine card to send to someone who loves cooking or gardening.
