My partner lives in The Netherlands, which is famous for its tulips. Since my signature flower is the tulip, I decided that would be my theme. I started by creating my own envelope using a monoprint I made with a Gelli Plate. I used acrylics to paint my tulip, and let me tell you, that right leaf took a looooong time to get right! Thank goodness acrylics are very forgiving.
On the back, I wrote a quote by Anaïs Nin: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
Thanks for stopping in! Take a risk and blossom.

Impressive tulip painting! Including the leaves of course. It looks great on your mono print. I like the subtle plaid design.
Lucky partner to have received such a lovely, lovely card. The quote is beautiful, as well.
There's not even a clue that you had any trouble making the tulip :) The quote is beautiful <3
This is such a beautiful postcard and quote. Well done on using the acrylics for the flower, it turned out eyebogglingly smashing ;-)
