Free Love Card With Coulson Macleod
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012From now until Valentine’s Day (whilst stocks last) we’re including one of these gorgeous handmade cards with every purchase of one of Coulson Macleod’s love-related typographic prints. The handmade card has been designed exclusively for Coulson Macleod by Ruby Wren.
Each heart has been individually cut by hand from wildflower seed paper. A true labour of love.
So when you’ve finished with your card you can plant it and wait for the flowers to grow. Literally watch your love blossom.
And this is what you could be growing…
- Pretty yellow Birdsfoot Trefoil, Black Medick, and Meadow Buttercup.
- Red Campion.
- White Campion.
- Purple thistle-like Black Knapweed and purple Selfheal, a member of the mint family.
- Feathery foliaged Yarrow.
- Watch the leaves of your Common Vetch fold at night and attract bees and butterflies with your ice-pink Musk Mallow.
- It was considered lucky to step on an Ox-eye Daisy, the first flower of the year.
And these lush grasses will sprout too…
- Ribwort Plantain.
- Browntop Bent.
- Red Fescue.
- Crested Dogstail.
- Meadow Fescue.
- Smooth Stalk Meadow Grass.
And the C5-sized envelope is made from elephant poo (and no it doesn’t smell). Oh, and just in case you think we’d slipped up with the cellophane outer wrapper, it’s made from corn starch.
