GLEBE COTTAGE, THE ECO-FRIENDLY CARD COMPANY
CATH TATE CARDS CATH Tate Cards have gone all cosmic and Nordic with the Northern Light new range that’s a collaboration with Swedish artist Elisabeth Fredriksson. Elisabeth hails from the northern wilds of the Scandinavian country where the aurora borealis are visible throughout the winter. Inspired by her love of nature, Elisabeth’s striking geometric designs have been paired with captions to create a cutting edge range of cards. The designs have an art deco feel, mixed with textured colour and gold foiling make this range both stylish and contemporary.
THE Eco-Friendly Card Company Glebe Cottage have added to their range of fine art greetings cards with designs from three members of the Royal Institute Of Painters In Water Colours – Shirley Trevena, the late Michael Morgan RI, and Mike Bernard whose Trafalgar Square image is pictured. A new art brochure for 2018 is to be launched featuring 14 different contributing artists offering traditional, contemporary and sentiment greetings cards, notecards and Christmas cards. All products are made from either 100 per cent recycled or 50 per recycled coffee cup board, with 100 per cent recycled envelopes and compostable bags.
