This handmade card is a perfect for someone moving home, or as your own new home cards. It was inspired by who other than my wonderful mum who is always up a ladder decorating or in the kitchen cooking for everyone.

Dot and friends (Bessie friends range)

The back of every card in this range has instructions dedicated to each character from baking cookies with Dot to DJing with Dan!

Making friends with Dot is just like baking cookies:

Ingredients - this card, a friend, special place for Dot

Instructions - write message in card, give card to friend, friend smiles :)

She is a motherly figure, and with her cat for company she is always keeping herself busy around the house and doing things to make others smile, inspired by who other than my wonderful mum who is always up a ladder decorating or in the kitchen cooking for everyone (not to mention the 64 Christmas cakes she made last year!)

Dot's favourite past-time is dancing round the kitchen with an early morning coffee to the smell of freshly baked cookies, and the cat running round the garden chasing birds and falling leaves…

This card starts off as a hand sketch in black ink, which is then scanned and colour added digitally before being printed onto photopaper, mounted onto tissue paper and 200gsm white card, before the finishing touches are added with glitter and fabric pens. Each card is 150mm (w) x 100mm (h) with a white C6 envelope, sealed in a clear cello bag.
