Keepsake Card - Dogwood Delight

Dogwood Delight Keepsake Card

Ease into a warm Southern welcome with Dogwood Delight. My hand-illustrated bouquet of flowering dogwood, honeysuckle, white tulips, daffodils, and hellebores celebrates soft hues of pink and white, with a bright, nostalgic feeling.

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

• Daffodil: evanescent happiness

• Flowering dogwood: rebirth

• Hellebore: serenity

• Honeysuckle: nostalgia

• White tulip: new beginnings

  
  

With rebirth and new beginnings at its heart, this card is lovely for Easter, a new baby, a wedding, or a fresh start in a new home. Honeysuckle’s nostalgia makes it a sweet way to reach out to an old friend, and daffodil’s evanescent happiness, the joy of a fleeting moment, is a reminder to savor the good times together.

Here’s how this card came to be: I drew the original from a live bouquet grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower, spending about 30 hours on an 18" x 24" drawing in black ink and colored pencil. A professional scanning studio that serves artists up and down the East Coast captured it in high resolution. Then I followed it through every step of printing, from my easel to the envelope in your hand.
