Felicity wanted to do something with a spring feel and happened to come across this delicate twig from a Cornus controversa(wedding cake tree/table dogwood tree)), just starting to push its buds. with a gentle mix of spring greens and young vibrant browns, the twig seems to be waiting to burst open in all its splendour!.............a close up on one section for a little detail.
.........on the back of the card, an unusual fir cone was added for extra charm.
.........and lastly, on the envelope, M Snail saw to the speedy delivery from Switzerland to France with his priority mail flag. I'm sure he has all to do with the safe delivery of Felicity's/my postcard.
Thank you for a special post card Felicity, done with your usual care and elegance!

This is exquisite! And what a lovely idea it is to add the tiny perfect detail shot, Ronell!
exquisite is the right word - very delicate and beautiful.
Thankyou for the close up Ronelle - it lets us see how beautifully and sensitively Felicity does these studies.
I love the wedding cake tree name for this twig. It just fits, in with the delicate beauty that she drew.
I can see that Diploma in Botanical Art beckoning! Lovely card - and I love the bird postage stamps too.
