Keepsake Card - Lilies & Roses

Lilies & Roses Keepsake Card

Graceful and celebratory, my Lilies & Roses bouquet brings together amaryllis, baptisia, cosmos, lady’s mantle, peony, ranunculus, and rose in a lavish, hand-illustrated arrangement.

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

• Amaryllis: achievement

• Baptisia: protection

• Cosmos: harmony

• Lady’s mantle: femininity

• Peony: appreciation

• Ranunculus: charm

• Rose: grace

This is a beautiful card for honoring someone’s accomplishments, such as a graduation, a promotion, a retirement, or a well-earned award. With femininity, grace, and appreciation among its meanings, it’s also a lovely tribute to a mother, grandmother, mentor, or dear friend who inspires you.

I begin each drawing with fine black ink lines that give the bouquet its structure, then build up soft, layered color with colored pencil. Working from live flowers grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower, I spent about 30 hours on this 18" x 24" original.
