Purple wildflower mandala card is 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 paper is super smooth, not slick, and takes gel, ballpoint, and other inks well. The photograph I used to create this wildflower mandala is printed on the back of the card with the photo location and a little story. Perfect as a everyday note, birthday card, or little frameable gift for a flower lover or someone who wouldn't be adverse to lying in a field, enjoying the wildflowers and dreaming.

Shipping. The card and envelope are packaged together in a plastic sleeve and mailed in a stiffened mailer. 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 purple wildflower 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 digital collage on this card, titled Fairy Palace, was created from a photo of wild basil growing in a small meadow on my property on Pleasant Hill, near Brookhaven, West Virginia. Wild basil is a low-growing little plant that rambles abundant and free through my little meadow, filling any space I don’t maintain with pops of purple.

Being an exotic and sometimes invasive plant, the wild basil on my property introduced itself without my assistance and has evaded elimination by the deer, who don't seem to favor its flavor. In spite of its sometimes assertive habits, I do somewhat like wild basil. It brings a sweet purple color into my meadow and I always feel a light, little energy around it (which could just be a sprite or fairy.) With that in mind, I used my photo to create this magical mandala that invites your exploration of its green center while surrounding you in a fine, lavender haze that perhaps marks the passage of fairy wings.
