Purple Pansy Card – Calm at the Center
$4.95 – $5.95
Bright purple pansy mandala art printed as a 5.25″ by 5.25″ square greeting card includes envelope and free shipping. Perfect as a springtime greeting or Easter card. If you’ll be mailing your card to someone and would like me to add the correct USPS first class stamp to the envelope, please choose that option from the menu. An additional charge will apply.
Purple pansy card digitally printed using archival pigment inks 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 pansy 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 for a gardener, as an Easter card, or for anyone who loves the happy face of a spring pansy. The card and envelope are packaged together in a plastic sleeve and mailed in a stiffened mailer.
Framing. This pansy 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.
Postage. Because irregularly shaped mail, like this square pansy card, must be canceled by hand, the U.S. Postal Service requires extra postage to deliver them. Special "butterfly stamps" carry the exact right postage to mail your bee card within the U.S. If you would like me to stamp the envelope with a butterfly stamp so it's ready for you to mail, please choose that option from the menu.
About the Art. When I was doing art festivals, I would often get customer requests for mandalas featuring favorite flowers. Sometimes these requests would be hard to fulfill. They might require me to track down a rare flower, for example, or work with a predominantly white flower or work up a piece that I know is going to be crazy gaudy. This mandala, titled Calm at the Center, falls into the crazy gaudy, but I had plenty of pansy photos and had annual opportunities to take more, so went for it. The results are fabulously bright, cheerful, and purple/green with a touch of yellow, a color combination that most definitely brings spring to mind. I did, however, make a conscious effort to keep the center of this piece calm, so that in a riot of color, your mind has someplace peaceful to settle.

Linda Gribko is an avid gardener, naturalist, author, artist, and photographer living just outside Morgantown, West Virginia, on a one-acre property she calls Yellow Bird's Rest. She's been gardening since the age of three, when she was put to work plucking rocks from the family vegetable patch, and was gifted her first growlight set-up at the age of eight. Linda is best known for her wildflower photography and the digital mandala art she creates from her nature photos, but is also a mixed media artist and published author. Her quirky first novel, "Giving Voice to Dawn", was published in November 2016 and was followed up with "The Lion's Apprentice" in June 2020. The series follows the magical romp of a woman plucked by the Universe from the cubicles of Corporate America and dropped into the crease between "this world and that" where Spirit Animals carry messages, disembodied voices spout wisdom, and you never know who might show up to walk you back home.
