Keepsake Card - Delicate Blues

Delicate Blues Keepsake Card

Soft, serene, and quietly elegant, Delicate Blues gathers celosia, clover, cosmos, dahlia, delphinium, and peony into a hand-illustrated bouquet in gentle shades of blue. I

nside, the art continues softly behind your message, along with the traditional meaning of each bloom:

• Celosia: strength

• Clover: “think of me”

• Cosmos: harmony

• Dahlia: abundance

• Delphinium: flight of fancy

• Peony: appreciation

This is a beautiful card for saying thank you in a meaningful way, whether to a mentor, a colleague who is retiring, or a teacher who made a difference. With harmony and appreciation among its meanings, it’s also lovely for an anniversary. Strength and “think of me” make it a gentle choice for someone going through a hard time.

I draw each bouquet at about four times the size of this card, on an 18" x 24" sheet, so the finest details stay crisp when it’s printed. This one took about 30 hours in black ink and colored pencil, working from live flowers grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower.
