Plantable Card - Lavender Seeds

Description

From the "Scraped From the Barrel" collection, this handmade paper oak leaf card is made with lavender and has lavender seeds embedded in it.

** Give the gift that keeps on giving **

I've been making handmade paper like this for ten years. I always use 100% post-consumer material except the seeds, but they come from lavender I grow myself using organic methods. I collect the seeds in the fall. Each card is hand embossed with an oak leaf. And, because each is actually made using fresh lavender, the cards are fragrant.

Perfect for any gift-giving occasion.

SIZE:
Cards are about 4 x 5 inches rectangular.
They are smooth inside and easy to write on with a pen.
A 100% recycled, brown Kraft paper envelope is included.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Instructions on how to grow the card are included. They germinate well using the recommended technique.

COLOR: The cards I have in stock now are a darker lavender color and the stain from the oak leaves are less pronounced.

***
Please note, these cards are handmade, not commercially printed, and so they have all of the subtle irregularities that make handmade items so lovely. Colors and leaf shape do vary from card to card — each one is unique.

****** A note from Walla Walla ******

Cards in this "Scraped from the Barrel" series are the artist's response to the aging of wine in oak barrels and the similarities between the Walla Walla Valley and Provence. Both are renowned for their lovely weather and fertile soil, as well as wine and lavender.
