Flower Power

(Praying Mantis by Becca Stadtlander)

So not long ago I explored my somewhat more girly side with my pretty Thank You cards and realised I have a fairly good flower knowledge and actually rather like them! Also mother's day (in the UK, it's different in the US right?) always seems to go hand in hand with flowers and floral patterns so I thought I'd share some of my favourite recent flowery finds with you.

old fashioned collages via collages

The Seed via Leung Kayin

via rosylittlethings (a really beautiful flower filled lifestyle blog)

Pakayla Biehn via booooooom

Sasha Prood's incredible typography via Sasha Prood

amazing print but also amazing things to do with washi tape via Miss Moss

The Queen of Pentacles via Teagan White

how amazing would it be to collage something like this? Your collage would have to look so spot on and realistic! via Miss Moss

Adam Hancher via Illustrated Ladies

Ok this last one is sort of a bonus or just for me...or y'know if your mum is super cool..and/or into taxidermy

These are by Cedric Laquieze and his blog is really worth checking out as he not only does crazy things like these but also some very delicate "fairies" made from moth wings and flowers.

Hope you find something here to inspire your mother's day gift this year
