Holly and Robin

Robins are a favourite bird and with this colour combination it connects well with the ‘Christmas’ theme and offers a secular option when looking for greeting cards.

Traditionally robins are often depicted with holly, red post boxes, spade handles but this design is stylised and focusses fully on the subject matter without extraneous detail. A bold use of colour and shape are key to this design whilst still making each element easily recognisable. Snowflakes were included to add a decorative feature and to create a wintery effect, softening the white background. The colours of the robin and holly are truly traditional giving this design an Art Nouveau style appearance but with a modern twist.

The plump robin is central to this artwork, surrounded by holly branches to provide connection to the Christmas season, and to give the robin a sense of place. 

The depiction for this greeting card is a perfect representation from my meticulously hand-made paper cut artwork, capturing the textures and shadows made by the cut, layered papers that were formally a bas-relief design. 
 
Each greeting card design has been colour matched to ensure consistency with the original artwork. Once each design has been edited and placed onto my greetings card template, the artwork is commercially printed using a high-end digital, batch production process. My greetings cards are a standard 148 mm x 148 mm size and a vertical fold has been selected to allow your card to be displayed effortlessly.
