Some cards say exactly what needs to be said.

This watercolor mountain scene layers deep purples and blues across ridgeline after ridgeline, with evergreen trees rising in the foreground. Across the front, simple and true:

"The best views come after the hardest climbs."

For the graduate who earned it. For the friend in the middle of something hard. For the person starting over, or starting fresh, or just needing to hear that the climb is worth it. This is the card for that moment.

Blank inside — so you can write exactly what you mean.

This is the first greeting card in the Shelby Thayne Art collection to include words. Printed in a small run of 100. When they're gone, that's it — at least for now.
