Holly Jolly Wishes Greeting Card

Holly Jolly Wishes Card

Spread a little merriment with this festive card! The front reads “Holly Jolly Wishes” above a bold, close-up view of my Holly Holiday bouquet of anemones, rice flowers, holly, and juniper. Inside, lighter full-color art surrounds the printed message, “It’s time to make merry and spread joy! Happy holidays!”, with the traditional flower meanings alongside:

• Anemone: anticipation

• Holly: good fortune

• Juniper: protection

• Rice flower: lasting beauty

With its greeting ready to go, this card is perfect for slipping into a gift exchange, handing out at the office party, or tucking into a cookie tin for a neighbor. Just sign your name and spread the joy.

The close-up front shows off the spiky edges and glossy sheen of the holly leaves, details I love capturing with colored pencil.

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