For a New Adventure…

It was with mixed emotions that this card came about. Dear friends of ours have decided to relocate to what sounds like their perfect dream farm in another state. We are so excited for them and their new adventure but extremely saddened to see them leave their beautiful home and all of us here. Of course, we only wish them the best for the years to come.

For this card, we wanted to symbolically express our feelings without a lot of sentimental phrases. So, since the white rose is the symbol of love and purity, that would become the focal point.

Gold is usually considered the color of life and wisdom, Therefore, the combination of gold and white became the color theme. However, wanting to know more about the meanings associated with gold, we discovered an interesting site. According to “Symbolic Means Blog by Avia Venefica,” it stated that “in Christian symbolism, gold is considered an attribute of virtue and golden hues are used quite often in Christian art to convey divine love.”

Well, let’s hope that message will be conveyed with this card.
