Kitchy? A little bit. This is the front of a hand painted birthday card for someone in my family! I was inspired by the cover of an Amsterdam travel guide that we had from our 2018 trip to the city of tulips. The background was black and the flowers made of wood on the travel guide, here I made the flowers more life-like and put in a lush green background with tulip stems. It is all non-toxic paint, and the paper is sufficient quality to last a very long time. Now people will feel extra guilty when they recycle the cards later on.
