Alice and the Rose - Whimsical Greeting Cards

This whimsical ‘Alice and the Rose’ greeting card for any occasions has been hand illustrated using fine liner pens, digitally coloured, and printed in Melbourne by The Nonsense Maker. These highly whimsical greeting cards portray an Alice in Wonderland inspired figure with a red rose for a head and being chased by coloured butterflies. Inspired by a dreamlike world where little is what it seems, this whimsical greeting card has a bright colour palette, using light blues, vibrant red, purple, yellow and white.

The Nonsense Maker’s ‘Alice and the Rose’ whimsical greeting cards are hand made in Melbourne using all Australian suppliers.

Beginning with a pencil sketch before moving to pen, a method called crosshatching is used to create the depth and the tone you see in the final design. This fine line art is then scanned into a computer and coloured digitally. All our greeting cards are ethically printed on high quality recycled paper, and our envelopes are 100% recycled.

We often have customers let us know they love our greeting cards but struggle to think of things to write in them, and they are certainly not alone there! Check out our blog page for our top tips on what to write in a greeting card.

The Nonsense Maker’s unique greeting card designs are imagined from a fun and whimsical world where dreaming meets reality. Sometimes silly and sometimes sad, inspired by etching techniques used by old time illustrators. While The Nonsense Maker’s art prints often have finer details, the greeting cards and quirky stationery are usually an easy cheerful expression designed to bring a smile to your face.
