This card is made with hand made paper from Fiji that I picked up from a local store. It also has paua shell, from a New Zealand shellfish, on the wrong side for texture, to complement the natural features of the paper, and the word "Cherish" to remind us that we must indeed cherish what we have in Nature.
Thanks for looking and for you comments - you are very kind to a new cardmaker!!
