Lavender waterlily card digitally printed using pigment inks (the best!) on silky, bright white, acid-free paper. Folded card is 5.25" by 5.25" and comes with a beautifully made, bright white envelope. The photograph I used to create the mandala is printed on the back of the card with the photo location. Interior of the card is blank and the paper is super smooth, not slick, and takes gel, ballpoint, and other inks well. Perfect as a birthday card, encouragement card, or thinking of you card for someone who needs a little peace in their life, practices yoga, is on a spiritual path, or is a healer. Choose a blank card or have it printed with a birthday greeting. Especially nice for the Pisces in your life.

The card and envelope are packaged together in a plastic sleeve and mailed in a stiffened mailer. Note: one or two cards are shipped USPS First Class without tracking. Three or more cards are shipped via the most economical means, which usually includes tracking.

Framing. This waterlily card is created using high-quality materials, such as might be used in a museum. The print is sharp, bright, and frameable. To protect the vibrancy of the artwork, I frame using UV glass or acrylic, and I recommend it. If you use plain glass or acrylic, make sure you hang this sweet, little piece and all your beautiful art away from direct sunlight.

About the Art. The mandala on this card, titled Pisces is Calling, is one of several pieces I’ve created from photos of waterlilies. I found the lavender bloom I used here floating in a small pond behind the glasshouses at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

As you can tell from the water drops on the waterlily's petals, it was a rainy day, so rainy, in fact, that water poured through gaps between the glasshouses, creating a wet wonderland on a hot summer day. It was very much a day for the fishes, and Pisces, the astrological sign of the fishes, was truly calling. If you dabble in astrology even a bit, you’ll know that means there was a deeply emotional and relaxed energy in the air inviting all of us to release our attachments to specific outcomes in life and go with the flow. I hoped in this piece to capture that energy so that it could be shared with you.
