Pressed Flower Artist Greeting Card: Garden Flowers

A perfect card for a variety of occasions, for anybody who would like a floral gift!

Amber Marie's passion for flowers, colour and collecting have inspired her to create artworks that have been developed into prints, cards and other decorative and jewellery items. Over the years the artist picked and collected flowers from her visits to gardens, parks, woodland walks, charity shops and car boot sales. With a collection of 5 flower presses she set to work to create these innovative yet simple designs. I have used a white background as I love the way the colours stand out and how the flowers look like they are almost dancing on the page."

There are 6 card designs in this range. Please see my storefront to view the complete range, It can be personalised with a handwritten message.

"With a resistance against increasing use of technology I wanted to create artworks that not only celebrate nature but also come from naturals resources. Having been brought up in Bristol and with parents from the hippy generation I have been inspired by the Flower Power movement and Banksy and in particular his artwork "Love Is in The Air" (Flower Thrower) design which replicates a bunch of flowers in a symbolic appeal for peace to replace violence."

"At one time during my life I have felt the metaphor of being like a bunch of flowers in a shattered vase. I also have memories of dancing at parties in fields and Festivals with a metaphor of being a Wildflower - A free spirit, growing wild and free in a world plagued by conformity.

"When times are grey and when things look bleak, I believe we have to try to create our own magic and bring colour to the world in whichever way we can."
