Keepsake Card - Poppies & Columbine

Poppies & Columbine Keepsake Card

Sunny yellow, warm orange, and soft pink fill this joyful summer bouquet. Yellow columbine flowers dance through the arrangement like ballet dancers in mid-leap, while poppies carry the in-the-moment joy of a summer afternoon.

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

• Poppy: resilience

• Columbine: fortitude

Beneath its cheerful colors, this card carries a message of strength. It’s a wonderful way to encourage someone through a challenge, wish a friend a speedy recovery, celebrate someone who has persevered, or simply remind a loved one that you believe in them.

Drawing from live flowers lets me capture the way stems bend and blooms turn, and that’s how these columbines came to look like they’re dancing. I spent about 30 hours on the original in black ink and colored pencil, working at 18" x 24" from a bouquet grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower.
