￡6,000 in support of the people of Ukraine!
We have just had delivery of the Ukrainian Sunflower charity cards from Flamingo Paperie.
Laura has donated her time and talents and designed the most beautiful art in the colours of the Ukraine flag. Please go to www.flamingopaperie.co.uk to order online.
Flamingo Paperie has pledged to donate ￡6,000 from the sale of the card to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal launched by the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) to raise funds for food, water, medicine, protection and trauma care for people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
And a message from Laura: "I feel fortunate to have been able to create this design for Flamingo in support of such a worthy cause. Sunflowers have always been one of my favourite flowers - I grow them every year in my own garden. They are so strong, and the brightness of the petals is joyous on a sunny day. As they turn their heads towards the sun, they follow the light and in these dark and terrible times they are a symbol of hope. As the national flower of Ukraine, their symbolism of positivity and strength seems so fitting.
I couldn’t help but feel emotional while painting the sunflowers. As an artist, it was important to me to feel that I could use my skills to help, and by donating the design to Flamingo Paperie, it is a small act I can do to support."
