Happy Timeless Birthday card with Blue Hydrangea

For the savvy person who adores the classics, like bunches of blue hydrangea, here is the just-right birthday card! The front reads “Happy Timeless Birthday” above a close-up of my hand-illustrated Blue Hydrangea bouquet, our best-selling design.

Inside, more cool-blue blooms surround the printed message:

“You are elegant, stylish, and fun! Happy birthday!”

(Honestly, who doesn’t want to receive this lovely message?)

The inside also shares the traditional meaning of blue hydrangea: heartfelt emotion.

This card celebrates the person, not the number. It’s perfect for a friend who never seems to change, a stylish mother or grandmother, a mentor with impeccable taste, or anyone who would rather skip the age jokes and simply feel celebrated.

Hydrangeas have graced gardens for generations, and like all true classics, they never go out of style. That’s what I love about drawing them.

The original took about 30 hours in black ink and colored pencil at 18" x 24", drawn from live hydrangeas grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower.
