Seeded Paper

I have lately been filling my spare time by creating cute little animal illustrations for the front of greeting cards. The special thing about these card are that the hand drawn pencil originals are printed onto seeded paper. Yep… paper that has seeds in it. So really you can give a card and a gift all in one!  I have been working on printing them on my own and in conjunction with the lovely ladies at Art Of Paper in Willunga S.A. Check out my Greeting Card Folio page for my designs. 100mm square cards cost $5.50 and come with planting instructions and 100% recycled envelopes.

 

These cute seeded cards are handmade from 100% post-consumer paper and are embedded with live seeds.

The gift that keeps on giving – plant it and watch it grow!
