You can buy more of her wonderful wildlife-themed artworks from her <\/span>Etsy shop<\/span><\/a>, including this adorable <\/span>rabbit in winter<\/span><\/a> print that would make a lovely Christmas gift. The manufacturer of these cards, Museums and Galleries, also makes so many more beautiful wildlife-themed cards, and you can\u2019t go too far wrong with any of them. Another favourite are these adorable <\/span>Brambly Hedge<\/span><\/a> ones which bring me right back to my childhood, as well as <\/span>these ones<\/span><\/a> of a red fox and its cub travelling through a wintry forest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
