Our Scottish Thistle Painting Greeting Cards make a delightful surprise everyone will remember! Whether you choose the set of 4 thistle greeting cards or you need just one, it’s more than just a card, but a testament to Scottish heritage. Each card features a thistle watercolor illustration, handpainted by Scottish artist Clare Baird and professionally printed on 350gsm paper.
In order to recount the legend of the thistle, we must travel back in time to an ancient period when Viking raids were prevalent on Scottish territory. To be as silent as possible during a surprise nighttime ambush, the Norsemen chose to remove their shoes. One of them stepped on a thorny thistle and cried in agony. The noise woke up the Scots and defeated the Vikings. Since their triumph, the tiny thistle has been proudly recognized as a representation of perseverance and fortitude in the face of hardship. On the inside, there’s an intricate tartan pattern, adding a plus of cultural identity to your greeting card.
The card is made in the UK and measures 5.9’’ square, offering a blank space inside to write down your thoughts, emotions, and messages. Greeting cards are more than paper; they’re a heartfelt way to connect with people - all while celebrating their heritage! Whether you use it to send birthday wishes or let someone special know you’re thinking of them during a difficult time, we bet these greeting cards will win their hearts. The card comes in a 6.10’’ square recycled brown ribbed kraft envelope.
