Big Ben greeting card is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of blank art cards. This greeting card has been created from original art by Emily.
Emily’s art greeting card of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament is a vibrant depiction of the iconic London Landmark. The scene is set against a warm glowing sunrise or sunset sky which is filled with vivid shades of orange, yellow with hints of red. The golden glow from the sun lights up Elizabeth Tower.
Westminster Bridge with its varying shades of green spans the River Thames which is filled with colourful paint splatters which add an almost playful feel to Emily’s art.
