After yesterday’s triumph with ‘Tumble’ {and thank you all so so much for your kind words about it, they are much appreciated and I’m so glad it’s giving people pleasure} I had a tiny brainwave.
I so enjoyed the process of making Tumble that I sat down last night and did another one, on paper. It’s a very therapeutic way to create; I make no plans and put colour where it wants to go. That’s it.
And because I needed a birthday card for a friend, I cut up the painting into small pieces and made a whole bunch of cards, each one a tiny piece of an original painting.
They are so pretty! Each one looks like a miniature abstract landscape. And now I have a bunch of cards ready for impending birthdays, and celebrations of all kinds.
I am much pleased by my own genius.
and indeed you should be!!
you ARE awesome (and legend and rock-ish) — what an utterly fabulous idea!!!
you should know i will probably steal this idea as i’m always on the hunt for stationary and most of what you can buy is utterly suckish.

Wow, great idea for making a whole bunch of individual greetings cards. I will also be stealing this idea!!
You definitely should be!
These are amazing!! Brilliant idea.
Interesting quote too!

Brilliant! Such vibrant colors – love how each piece is a work of art in itself! I’ve so enjoyed browsing through your blog – so many amazing and inspirational pieces here!!
I have always been impressed with your genius!!! pure genius!
gorgeous!
wow!!!! love it.
Such beautiful blues. The cards were an awesome idea! Mini works of art, and they would look nice framed, too, if the lucky recipients were so inclined 🙂
Yes, You Rock!
Love the initial picture, and the cards are fab.
It looks great as a finished work and then again as cards… I love art cards in all their forms and these are just beautiful xx
You certainly are awesome….another stunning piece of art! I LOVE how you cut it up into cards….they look just great!!
Oh wow these are wonderful!!! Genius indeed 🙂
These are fantastic and would make a great gift in and of themselves. Might just be borrowing that idea as well 🙂
I love this idea Tara did you get them professionally printed or did you buy the cards and stuck them on?
Your cards are attractive and so neat. I’m interested in backings for My cards without having to do Much cutting. I’ve used art paper, cardstock, etc.. However, I’m left handed and do not cut straight. Any ideas for easy backings?
Thank you Sally! I love these from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ChrisNorstrom
