Last week I headed to the art store to restock on blank sketchpads.  (I used the last of my Orla Kiely notebooks from a visit to the Tate Modern two years ago.)  Most of my inspiration lately has been coming from food magazines.  With the slight drop in temperature, some neighbourhood trees have already given up and changed their green leaves to red.  They’re telling me to get back in the routine of staying indoors and keeping warm with soups, teas and quilts.

At the end of my sketching, I decided to go ahead and print the teacup card straight from the drawing.  (Usually, I go to Illustrator and clean them up first.)

It’s a nice little card to use as invitations for a baby or bridal shower or just for saying ‘thank you’ to a friend.  Best of all … they’re in the shop now.
