a first...

Never been asked to do a 'Grooms' Card before (didn't even know there was such a concept!!!)

As I wasn't too sure what is/was required from a Grooms card, and given that my other cards are VERY flowery and girly!!, I decided that I would do a painted version of the Grooms buttonhole... which apparently is going to be a Sea Thistle or Sea Holly....

so, after some very dodgy initial sketches, this is the finished article...

Sea Thistle 2015

watercolour on paper

I'm quite pleased with it as it goes... not too girly.. but ties in nicely with the other thankyou cards, and a little more 'special' as its painted in watercolours rather than with coloured pencils.

hope they both like it.

Now onto the final part of this commission 'bundle'...

1 large and 1 small 'tree' for the wedding guests 'fingerprint' guest book/print....

hope this turns out ok!!!
