Tiny card "Happy birthday" v5

Treat the birthday guest like royalty! This folded gift enclosure card reads “Happy birthday!” above a close-up of my hand-illustrated Textured Tulips bouquet, with lilac and ruffled, fringed, and feathery tulips in rich shades of purple, the traditional color of royalty. It’s blank inside for your birthday wishes.

It’s a perfect match for a milestone birthday, a spring birthday brunch, or a gift for the friend who adores all things purple. Tie it onto a bouquet of tulips, a box of fine chocolates, or anything that says, “You deserve the royal treatment.”

Cut tulips keep growing and turning toward the light even after they’re placed in a vase, so drawing them from life meant following every ruffle as it moved. The artwork comes from a full-size original I drew over about 30 hours in black ink and colored pencil, from live flowers grown by Muddy Feet Flower Farm, a woman-owned grower.
