Colour of the Month: Red

Heart confetti

February's colour of the month I would say is RED. Since it's Valentine's, the month of Love, I thought red is the most suitable colour as it's most commonly associated with love.
One of my favourite colours also, especially burgundy, red is the colour that symbolizes passion and energy.
Red - One of the primary colours. 

Valentines Day Card with silver heart

It is the symbolic colour of the heart and the red rose, is closely associated with romantic love or courtly love and Saint Valentine's Day. Both the Greeks and the Hebrews considered red a symbol of love as well as sacrifice.

Valentines Day Heart Card

Red is also the colour of urgency and is used in many danger signs. 

Romantic Valentines Card

Encourages appetite, red is many time used in advertising and branding, often used by fast food chains.

Colour of the Month - Purple

Purple - a blend of red and blue.

Thought to resemble royalty, luxury, faith, religion and also magic.

100 purple stars confetti  /  Thank you card 

I personally associate the colour purple, with the smell of lavender and Amethyst gemstones (my favourite.)
I don't really wear purple clothes too much, but I do like using it in design. 




In marketing and branding Purple is considered to represent a creative and imaginative brand and is used a lot in beauty products.

The Frog

What's the first thing that comes in your mind when you hear the word "Frog"? 

Well for me it's Disney's animated movie "The princess and the frog" and Kermit the Frog! 

Frogs are the most beloved cute animals. I guess it's because they are a bit funny looking. As I totally love them, I use them in my creations. 

If you see below are a few samples of my own creations (Birthday Invitation, Birthday Card, Art Print) with a Frog theme and also two finds I stumbled upon in Etsy which are really sweet. A Crochet Pattern Frog, by YukiYarn Designs in The Netherlands and a Newborn Frog Hat by Knit and Crochet Land in Poland.

New theme Birthday cards - Sports - Football - Basketball

So August is now really hot here in Cyprus, and I can't get myself to blog a lot. Can't wait for winter to come. Here are some of my new creations this summer. The idea came from my nephew's and brother's birthday. I always have a hard time making a card for men. I can never think of a theme that they like. So this year I decided to make a personalized card with their football (soccer) teams. The first one is Barcelona FC and the second one is Arsenal. The third one is a trial of basketball teams like New York Nicks!

You can find these cards available in my shop as from today. You just need to choose your football team or basketball team, or any other team and I will make your own personalized card.  :)

Cupcakes

A while ago we used to make cupcakes with two friends. We started to make our own cupcake business. Well unfortunately busy life came in the way (as we all worked full time) so we couldn't expand our cupcake business. From this I got inspired and made this colourful cupcake card.
