Inktober 52 - Week 13 - 2025 - Aries
I have missed a couple of weeks prompts but gradually trying to get back to doing things after my breast cancer surgery. Still a bit sore but glad to be back drawing.

Mum Wildflower Garland Blank Square Card, ideal for Mothers Day or Birthday or just to show you care. This one comes with a matching pink envelope.

Home Sweet Home, Bluetit and Nestbox Blank Square Greetings Card.
I needed a New Home card so I thought I would design one. This is a blank card so equally good for Mothers Day or Birthdays.

Brambling - Fringilla montifringilla
Often seen in gardens this time of year especially during harsh weather. Similar size and shape to a Chaffinch.
