Topiary Tree illustration
I loved illustrating the popular Histon shop, Topiary Tree. I used owner Alison’s favourite colours of pink and blue with a splash of emerald green to make it more of a design led project.

Textured art work and printed on a high quality textured board give the cards a home made and tactile feel.
