Free Vintage Garden-Themed Greeting Card: Like Flowers Bright on Easter Day

BEST EASTER WISHES
May happiness adorn your way
Like flowers bright on Easter Day

A vintage greeting postcard from 1930 showing a little girl holding a basket of flowers running through a garden path lined with tulips, clasping the paw of the Easter bunny. Can be used as a postcard or gift tag but also lovely for spring-inspired journaling, scrapbooking or graphic design projects with a vintage feel. You can download the high-res 6" x 4" @ 300 ppi JPEG without a watermark here.

I've also included the back of the original vintage postcard in case you want to use it as a background for a creative project. You can download the high-res 6" x 4" @ 300 ppi JPEG here.

Free Vintage Botanical Illustration for Collage Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Spring Bulbs 4 (The Narcissus Pt. 2)

Would you like some warm Spring pie?
Then, take a cup of clear blue sky.
Stir in buzzes from a bee,
Add the laughter of a tree.

A dash of sunlight should suffice
To give the dew a hint of spice.
Mix with berries, plump and sweet.
Top with fluffy clouds, and eat!
Paul Kortepeter, Holly Pond Hill: A Child's Book of Easter

Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have liv'd light in the spring,
To have lov'd, to have thought, to have done;
To have advanc'd true friends, and beat down baffling foes...?
Matthew Arnold, Empedocles On Etna And Other Poems

The botanical illustration above shows a group of flowers from the Amaryllidacea family, consisting of (1) the Great Spanish White Daffodil, hardy with showy flowers, (2) Mr. Sabine's Daffodil, a very distinct species, (3) the Conspicuous Narcissus, a native of the Pyrenees, (4) the Nonsuch Daffodil, or Butter and Eggs, (5) the White Mountain Daffodil, one of the most beautiful narcissi, (6) Three-anthered Rush Daffodil, a native of Portugal and the south of France, (7) the Jonquil, a garden favourite for its fragrance and profusion of flowers, and (8) Narcissus gracilis, so long a common fixture in British gardens its origin is lost.
