Anemone & Thistle Keepsake Card

Some cards are read once. A Keepsake Card is meant to be saved. On the front, my hand-illustrated bouquet of anemones, thistles, and lacy white orlaya rests in calm shades of blue and violet, spare and elegant. Inside, the artwork continues in soft, faded color behind your message, and a small panel names each bloom along with its traditional meaning. Those meanings often spark just the right words when you’re not sure what to write.


Anemone - anticipation

Orlaya - innocence

Thistle - endurance


Every Keepsake Card begins with a live bouquet from Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned flower farm. I set the flowers beside my wooden easel and spend about 30 hours drawing them at full scale, 18" x 24", in black ink and colored pencil. A professional scanning studio that works with artists along the East Coast then captures every pencil stroke in high resolution, so the printed card is true to the original.


With its quiet, soothing palette, this card is especially lovely for sympathy, thinking of you, encouragement, or a heartfelt thank-you.
