It’s finally spring and our garden is slowly coming to life. This winter in Melbourne has been exceptionally cold. It was freezing some mornings, and the temperatures didn’t get that much warmer as the day progressed. Because of this cold weather most of my photographic activity for the past few months took place inside, in the comfort of our house. I would like to tell you that it was in my studio but that would be a gross exaggeration. I have an area set up in my spare room where I take most of my floral photos. Over the winter I have focused on shots that I thought would work well as greeting cards for my Etsy shop .
I have also tried out some new suppliers to print my cards and have been really pleased with the results. As much as I liked the cards I was getting from Moo, the cost of postage, time taken to receive them and the fact that they didn’t print square cards made things a little difficult at times. I am really happy that I am now supporting an Australian business and have only a 3 day turn around to get my cards printed. Oh and they offer a choice of different card stocks!
These new cards are 5″ x 5″ square and have been printed on Pearl Lustre paper and a linen type of card stock. Both stocks are lovely and I am not sure which I prefer. I have been using my Lensbaby Sweet 50 for a few of these photos and I am loving the results. These cards will be available in my Etsy store shortly …
