August Abundance Blank Greeting Card

The generous color of a late-summer garden, up close. This card features a dramatic close-up of my hand-illustrated August Abundance bouquet, overflowing with snapdragons, black-eyed Susans, strawflowers, dahlias, thistles, Queen Anne’s lace, and asters. Inside, it’s blank for your own message.

I loved capturing the contrasting textures here, from the papery petals of strawflowers to the delicate, lacy clusters of Queen Anne’s lace. It’s a cheerful choice for a late-summer birthday, a thank-you to a fellow gardener, or a note to a friend just because.

The artwork comes from a full-size original I drew over about 30 hours in black ink and colored pencil, from live flowers grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower.
