Description
This greetings card puts a big grey shark front and centre, rising out of a deep blue background with its jaws open wide and a full row of sharp white teeth on show. The shark is drawn in soft greys, darker along its back and pale, almost icy, across its snout and underside. Pink gums frame the black of its mouth, and it has a round dark eye and a few fine lines near the nose. The design is debossed, pressed gently into the card so you can feel it under your fingertips, and the surface has a matt finish that keeps the colours rich without any glare. The card is square, about 125mm on each side, and comes with a cream envelope.
It is blank inside, so the message is entirely yours, whether that is a few lines or a long letter. A shark with its mouth wide open is a cheerful, slightly cheeky choice, and it suits anyone who likes a card with a bit of bite rather than flowers and frills. Once it has been opened, the square format and strong colours mean it holds its own propped on a mantelpiece, a desk or a bookshelf. It looks just as at home pinned to a noticeboard in a bedroom or a study.
We like that it is made in the UK from responsibly sourced materials. It uses a sturdy 280gsm card that feels substantial in the hand and stands up well on a shelf. It comes with no plastic packaging, and it weighs just 13g. Keep it somewhere dry and away from strong sunlight to keep the blues and greys at their best. Write your note, tuck it into the cream envelope and add it to a wrapped present, or send it on its own as a small surprise.
