I made the original design by hand from flowers I grow for pressing in Worcestershire. The botanicals were carefully scanned and then printed onto my cards by my product partners in the UK.
The flowers I pressed to make the original design include pink and red red roses, blue and pink larkspur, violas, pink and deep red potentillas, fuchsias, astrantia ( one of our oldest garden flowers), elderflower buds, thalictrum leaves, forget-me-nots and clusters of tiny green lady's mantle flowers (Alchemilla Mollis).
