Hi i'm Melissa the illustrator and founder of boutique greeting card brand Western Sketch. Each of my Greeting Cards and Gift Wraps starts from a sketchbook illustration which have been hand painted using watercolour paints, in a fun non traditional style.
I started this business back in 2017 whilst I was on maternity leave after picking up my sketchbook and paint palettes that had gathered dust over a good few years.
I run this business entirely myself from handpainting and editing each greeting card, telling my story on social media to packing up your orders.
I am passionate about working traditionally and absolutely love the process of painting, the calmness it brings to a very hectic life. I'm inspired by the everyday as well as past memories I have from my childhood. I love food and you'll find this a big inspiration in my designs.
I really love how I can share my illustrations through greeting cards and how they can bring Joy to others. They are such an inexpensive pick me but a wonderful mood booster that can provide so much happiness and thought when given.
