Keepsake Card - Textured Tulips

Textured Tulips Keepsake Card

A bouquet for tulip lovers and anyone who adores purple! Lavish layers of lilac join an array of textural tulips, from ruffled doubles to feathery parrots to delicate fringed blooms, in shades from soft lavender to deep violet.

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

• Crunchy Cummins tulip: royalty

• Dream Touch tulip: dreams

• Fringed Blue Heron tulip: affection

• Lilac: first love

• Parrot tulip: zest for life

Dreams, zest for life, and a touch of royalty, fitting for a design in purple, the traditional color of royalty, make this a joyful card for a graduate stepping into a bright future. It’s equally lovely for romance, since first love and affection make it a tender choice for Valentine’s Day, an engagement, or an anniversary.

Cut tulips keep growing and turning toward the light even after they’re placed in a vase, which makes drawing them from life a lively challenge. I followed every ruffle and fringe over about 30 hours, working in black ink and colored pencil at 18" x 24" from live flowers grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower.
