Mother's Day Card - Mom, you amaze me

For the mom who inspires you every day. The front reads “Mom, you amaze me” above a close-up of my hand-illustrated Delicate Blues bouquet, in soft, serene shades of blue. Inside, more floral art surrounds the printed message:

“Happy Mother’s Day. Your life continues to inspire me. Thank you, Mom!”

The inside also shares the traditional meaning of each bloom:

• Celosia: strength

• Clover: “think of me”

• Cosmos: harmony

• Dahlia: abundance

• Delphinium: flight of fancy

• Peony: appreciation

This card celebrates the strength and grace of the woman who raised you, whether she’s your mother, stepmother, grandmother, or the mentor who has been like a mother to you. Its calm blue palette is a lovely choice for a mom whose style is classic and understated, and clover’s “think of me” makes it especially meaningful if you’ll be celebrating from afar.

The velvety plumes of celosia were a pleasure to draw. Their soft, almost feathery texture called for slow, patient layers of colored pencil over my ink linework, part of the roughly 30 hours I spent on this 18" x 24" original. I drew it from live flowers grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower.
