Sweet As Pie

To Be As Sweet As Pie_ Very Charming, often used sarcastically. 'She could be as sweet as pie if she wanted to get something out of me.'

Starting my pie related research is children's book artist Sarah Boxer.

This particular design is by Suga Belle Boutique and is a very nice card, certainly one to draw inspiration from.

This is a very basic and yet in some way perfect point to the idiom. Certainly one to look upon.

Here is a picture of my observational reference for this idiom:

Having collected and finalised my imagery here is the card below in the template i hope to continue with. I have chosen to do this because of the success the last range had with peers and tutors, thus not wanting to deviate too far. Note that the text is in the same fashion as the previous card range, adding continuity:

Here is the front and inside of the envelope developed and adapted from the previous card range project. I have changed the imagery to suit and complement this particular card. I am sticking with this design because it works most effectively and was a success previously.
