This is an original handmade lino print greeting card of a cheeky Easter Chick playing with an Easter egg. The card is left blank for your own message.

I drew the design in my sketchbook, transferred it onto the lino block, carved it, and then handprinted each copy.

They are printed on 250gsm white acid free card with a matching 100gsm white envelope. The card is A6 size measuring 10.5 x 14.8cm (4.2 x 5.8 inches). The white envelope measures 11.4 x 16.2 cm (4.45 x 6.4 inches).

The colour is a juicy vibrant orange hand-mixed from ‘Naphthol Red’ and ‘Process Yellow’ Caligo Safe Wash Relief inks. These are professional quality vegetable oil-based inks containing high quality ink rather than dye so offer excellent light fastness. That means they are less likely to fade in sunlight over time.

The professional quality oil-based ink and acid free card make this a perfect piece of art that looks charming framed and displayed for years to come. A card, keepsake and gift all in one (please note this card doesn’t come framed).

Because I hand mix the inks and print by hand you can be assured that every print is unique, coming out slightly differently depending on how I ink up the lino and the pressure I use when printing.

I post everything, UK only, Royal Mail 1st class, cello wrapped, in a board backed envelope. I post within 3 working days.
