Poppies are widely known to have originated from the Sumerian people. The petals are crumpled in the bud and slowly unfold as they bloom dropping the small hairy casings below them. Cards are printed on to a premium heavy weight card stock with a subtle eggshell texture and come with a matching white envelope. The card and envelope paper stock is produced using FSC® Certified pulp. Size A6 (105mm x 148mm) when folded. Packaging - The cards and envelopes are secured with a semi- transparent belly band (as shown in the last picture). Please state in your order if you require cello bags instead. The original artwork is hand-painted in Sumi ink and gouache from life or using a reference from one of my many botanical books.
