Birthday Blue Egyptian lotus ornament CC1021 Card

Folded birthday card inspired by an Egyptian style ornamental flower found in a 19th century pattern book (Auguste Racinet, L' ornement polychrome, 1869-1873). The blue lotus, also called the sacred blue lily, is very important in Egyptian mythology. Since the flowers are closed at night and open again in the morning, the flower is regarded as a symbol for the sun, creation and rebirth. Inside the card you'll find a corresponding birthday greeting: With | a blue lotus flower | symbol of the life-giving sun | we're wishing you love and | light on your birthday | and a joyful new 365-day | journey around the sun! Personalize the birthday card simply by typing over the example text. You can also change the background colour of the pictures.
