Beautiful butterflies

I created this butterfly print a while ago and it's now available in my Spoonflower shop on a variety of different coloured backgrounds. 

The black version of this butterfly print shows off the colours of the butterflies beautifully and looks great as a cushion cover.

The pink butterfly version is very vibrant and would look great in a little girl's bedroom.

You can find it on a selection of bedding options in my Spoonflower shop, including this butterfly duvet cover.

The cream version is nice and fresh.

This would look great as a butterfly table cloth. It comes on a variety of shapes and sizes.

And last, but not least, this fabulous turquoise background.

It looks great on napkins.

Beautiful bonsai

 This bonsai print makes a great cosmetic bag. It comes in a stunning emerald green colour and has a variety of bonsai trees created in a painterly feel.

There are pink flowers in the print so I decided to match the lining colour to those flowers. This means you get a flash of colour when the bag is opened.

This makes a great makeup bag but could also be used as a handbag organiser or travel bag. It's a great place to store all your valuables and has a zipper closure to keep everything safe. This pouch is also lightly padded to protect your belongings and is machine washable too!

The zipper pouch also has a matching glasses case. It's also led in a hot pink cotton fabric and is lightly added to protect your glasses.

These bonsai items make a great gift combo for a bonsai-lover or gardener.

Luscious leaves

This scrumptious tea towel was recently added to my Etsy shop. It's made from a fabulous tropical leaf print on a soft pink background and makes a great addition to the kitchen.

The lovely thick linen cotton canvas fabric makes it durable and easy to use and adds a splash of colour and personality to your kitchen.

Use this tropical leaf tea towel for dish drying or for keeping hands dry. Alternatively hang it on the wall and use it as a piece of artwork to brighten the room.

This tea towel has a folded, top stitched hem and have the iconic Cheeky Leopard label attached.

This makes a great partner with the pot plants tea towel, also available in my Etsy shop.

This tea towel makes a great house warming gift for someone special.

Awesome orange

I really enjoyed designing this stylised orange print for my Redbubble shop. It has an abstract modern feel to it and I love the varying shades of orange within the print.

For the budding cook in your life, this oranges apron makes a great gift. It's made from 100% polyester and helps you stay clean in style whether you're in the kitchen, in the art studio, in the garden or at the BBQ!

This orange print backpack is made from a durable polyester and has a handy external mesh pocket to put your water bottle in. It also has adjustable padded straps.

The orange print pillow is a great way of adding colour to any room and has a concealed zip opening for a clean look and easy care. All throw pillows are available as cover only or as cover with insert.

The orange print laptop sleeve comes in three sizes and has a zip closure. The foam padding and polyester cover protects it from scratches and minor impacts.

The orange print tote bag is the perfect accompaniment for a trip to the local market and has cotton shoulder straps which are super strong for carrying your items.

The orange print zipper pouch is so cute and perfect for carrying makeup, pencils, phone and cards in. It's available in three sizes and is fully lined with a metal zipper closure.

Chase way the winter sniffles with this fabulous little tissue holder. It's made from a scooter print in a fabulous shade of emerald green.

Happy New Year!

 A very Happy New Year from Cheeky Leopard.

Here's to a fabulous 2025 xx

Pleasing plaid

 I recently joined the weekly drawing challenge from @thetuesdaycollective on Instagram. The prompt word for that week was 'plaid' so I chose to draw this fabulous 'Grand Plaid' wool coat from Kate Spade. I was inspired by the oversize design of the plaid but also to the amazing colours. It almost has a patchwork feel to it, with one side using shades of green and blue and the other side using shades of red, pink and orange. You can find it on my Instagram here.

This is the original Grand Plaid coat, which looks amazingly warm as well as stylish - quite a statement piece. Not surprisingly, all sizes have sold out on the Kate Spade website!

Merry Christmas!

 Sorry for the late delivery of this, it's been a bit busy!

Sending festive wishes to you all and a very Happy New Year.

Festive fun

 I've been enjoying doing the December drawing challenge hosted by @ellolovey. The prompt words have inspired me to try some different ideas. First up is this fun festive sweater design. I've included Santa, a snowman and even a penguin.

Stockings are a fun way to add lots of pattern in a small space. Each of these stockings are inspired by Nordic knitwear and I added a light pink colour to sweeten it up a bit.

'Peppermint' was the prompt word for this design so I chose to draw festive candy canes mixed with peppermint lollies and candy. The coral pink background just finished it off nicely.

'Sugar' was the prompt word for this design so I chose to draw gingerbread men and gingerbread houses on a pretty pink background. They look good enough to eat!

The 'garland' prompt stumped me a bit at first, but after googling a few festive garlands, I decided to go with these wooden star garlands. I mixed them in with some fairy lights for added sparkle.

The prompt word for this drawing was 'Santa' so I chose to draw a Santa mug filled with steaming hot chocolate and topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles and finished off with a chocolate flake.

London love

Feeling the London love with this London print I designed for my Spoonflower shop. It includes double decker buses, taxis and postboxes as well as an obligatory rain cloud - it wouldn't be London without the rainy weather!

Products include this London cushion cover. Covers come in a variety of sizes and are a great way of accessorising your living space.

Keep warm and cosy on a cold night with this soft minky London throw blanket.

Products include bedding, like this London sheet set with matching pillow cases.

And if you really love London, why not add this London duvet cover too?!

Hello kitty!

I recently created this illustration for the @thetusedaycollective drawing challenge on Instagram. Each week they set a different theme and last week's theme was 'animal sweaters'. I've been eyeing a particularly cute cat sweater in Oliver Bonas so decided to draw that. Hopefully I've captured the sweetness and softness of the original item.

This is the original version, a fluffy pink marl jumper with a red knitted cat character. 

 

Novelty sweaters

 The craziest sweaters come out at Christmas and I'm celebrating them with this little print. It includes Santa, a snowman, a penguin and a gingerbread man, as well as traditional fairisle designs and the odd snowflake or two.

I've added this print to my Spoonflower shop and you can buy it on a variety of fabrics by-the-metre as well as on ready-made items. Here are some of my favourites.

Use it to decorate your bed with this fabulous sheet set. It comes in many sizes and is made from a soft cotton sateen.

It also has a matching duvet cover.

If the bedding is too much, this throw pillow is perfect for accessorising the bedroom or living room at Christmas.

And you can snuggle up in the cold winter evenings with this cute cosy throw blanket.
