| This framed image reminded me of the Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th early 20th centuries. Images of nature were found everywhere around that time; street lamps, signs, balcony railings, jewelry, and furnishings just to name a few. This card was trying to convey the colors used during that time. It is a bit saturated, but the hue is similar to the colors used.   |
Left: Sunflower Sampler; Right: Very Distressing

| When showing this card to my friends they mentioned it would be fantastic for a college student. I guess the big letter 'U' gives the impression of a university. This is something I didn't notice while making the card but they are right! |
 |
| Above: I colored the flourishes in gold and used a gold shimmer paper for the large 'U' Below: The wooden dragonfly was used for balance and follows the use of nature that was found during this period. |
