No amount of description can convey the richness of the imprint and the quality of the extra thick, matte artist papers I use. My cards are not "homemade" looking. They look and feel like an actual ART print (NOT photograph!) which can be folded into a card-sized envelope. If you don't believe it, send me five bucks and I'll send you a card and samples- so you can see for yourself. While most photographers slap a snapshot on a card blank and artists press-print their painting on cheesy cardstock...I don't!
Please view, print or download the art card catalog(s) below to learn about my design process. To order cards e-mail me at blackrosegallery@aol.com or call to discuss your selections. I have hundreds of garden favorites and variations of each motif. There is no possible way I can display all of my designs, so visiting my display at a show or visiting my studio is really the best way to see and touch my work. Cards can be ordered individually or in gift-boxes of 10 and gift sets of 3-6. Any design can be "personalized" with a name, verse or occasion on the front panel or inside on a vellum overlay. You won't be seeing "ordinary" homemade-looking cards- my cards are an actual giclee print on luxurious Crane Museo watercolor paper, soft-folded so it can be unfolded and displayed like a work of art. There are no distracting logos or printing and every card has a full sheet of coordinated writing paper for you to scribe your sentiments without writing directly on the card. Sticky-back vellum embellishments and a printed invitation-weight envelope complete the set. Each card is in sealed cello packaging. Card prices are appropriate for both retail and wholesale.
Velvety-textured floral and garden motifs giclee printed on luxurious Crane watercolor paper.
