Pretty pinks

I have a wide selection of pretty pink prints available in my Spoonflower shop, in a wide variety of themes, from candies and ice creams to seashells and florals. Here is a little taster of what you can find.

This rather psychedelic design is called Lollipop Land and consists to tempting lollipops surrounded by clouds and sunburst in a vibrant pink colour palette.

I love it on this cushion cover, which would look great in a kid's bedroom.

Ice creams are a great way of adding fun and colour to a print. These ones are covered in sprinkles and lollipops and come in flavours of strawberry, chocolate and mint.

You can buy ice cream fabric by-the-metre in a wide variety of fabric choices. It would look great as a 1950s-inspired summer skirt.

Stylised crystals come in a variety of bright colours and are surrounded by tonal glittering stars.

This would look great on a throw blanket. It comes in a soft minky finish or a performance velvet finish and ti perfect of keeping cosy on long winter nights.

 

Pretty pansies

 I have a wide selection of tracheostomy covers in my Etsy shop and most of them are quite modest in design and colour to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. But some of my covers are bright and pretty, like this pink pansy print. 

Each tracheostomy cover is made from 100% machine-washable cotton which means it's easy to wash and is breathable. The pink pansies add a pop of colour to any outfit.

Each cover has a button and elastic loop closure. This makes it easy to attach, but the elastic loop means there is some give in the cover.

Each cover is cut as one size, but if you have a preference for it being larger, I can make the elastic loop longer to allow for more give.

The cover is double-sided, with a contrasting plain maroon cotton fabric on the back.

This makes a great get-well-soon gift for someone special.

Pretty in pink

I often participate in drawing challenges on Instagram. It's great to draw something that is not related to my work. I also like fashion, so try to infuse that love into the drawings that I do. A love of colour also means that my illustrations are often bright and juicy. I especially love the colour pink (see my Cheeky Leopard logo!) so many of my illustrations include that colour.

My latest illustration was for a weekly drawing challenge set by @thetuesdaycollective on Instagram. The prompt word was Converse so I chose to draw a close up of these fabulous pink Converse high tops.

The above illustration prompt word was 'oversize florals' so I drew 1960s inspired flowers on a hot pink background. Notice how the lipstick and earrings match the colour of the flowers.

"disco' was the prompt word for this challenge and I had fun adding a disco ball in the background.

'Knitwear' was the prompt for this drawing and after lots of trawling for the right inspiration, I went with a fabulous sweater from Farm Rio.

'Pink denim' was the prompt for this illustration and a drew a pink denim zip-up dress. I gave my lady a  short choppy bob.

This prompt was 'leaoprd print' so I drew a fabulous leaoprd print sweatshirt from Scamp and Dude.

 

Stunning storks

I love a stork print and this one comes in my favourite colour, a fabulously vibrant magenta pink.

The stork zipper purse is fully lined in a black and grey cotton polka dot fabric and has a pink zipper closure to keep everything safe.

This stork zipper purse is perfect for using as a handbag organiser and can fit phone, keys and sunglasses in. The bright colour makes it easy to find in your handbag.

It could also be used as a makeup bag. The purse is machine washable, so easy to keep clean after any spillages.

Vintage Pink

I have just added this clutch bag to my Etsy store. It's made from a kimono I bought in Kyoto a while ago and one which I have been meaning to make up for some time. It's a beautifully simple, classic blossom print on a pretty pink ground. I call it 'vintage pink' as it's only really the kind of pink you find on vintage items nowadays. I decided to give it a rich terracotta lining as a contrast to the outside.

Like most of my items, the bag is not stiffened so that it keeps the softness and integrity of the silk. You can find it on my Etsy store here.
