Landscapes Painted with Character and Colour
Alex’s greeting cards feature artwork inspired by real and imagined landscapes, painted in gouache for its vibrant, velvety finish. Her designs capture the subtle shifts of light and weather across the countryside, creating images that feel alive and atmospheric.
From hills to tranquil coastal paths, each landscape tells its own story. Alex’s careful attention to tone and composition ensures every card is both elegant and full of personality — a small piece of art that can be cherished long after it’s sent.
The Art of Gouache
Gouache is a richly pigmented medium that allows Alex to blend soft gradients with fine detail, creating expressive and textured scenes. It combines the depth of watercolour with the opacity of acrylic, making it ideal for vivid yet natural landscapes. Each design is an original painting, a one of a kind, each being slightly different maintaining individual character of each artwork. This ensures that every greeting card reflects the quality and artistry of Alex’s original gouache pieces.

Painted on high-quality cardstock, each card is blank inside, allowing your words to take centre stage. Whether you frame it or send it, each piece carries the warmth of something handmade and heartfelt.
