We’ve all felt that boiling pressure, that steam heat rising up from the base of our spinal cord until it reaches the nape of our neck in dangerous proportions. We’ve all struggled to keep the lid on our emotions and sometimes, if we aren’t careful, we blow our tops. We are only human but we don’t need to give into our base emotions.

An angel, originally photographed in Lourdes, holds a lid gracefully atop the sparking flames reminding the recipient that through divine intervention and gentle love, we can control our emotions without losing them entirely. After all, under the right circumstances hot water can make delicious meals, soothing teas, and experiences that leave us enriched for the better.

The original mixed media collage was created using a combination of acid-free glue, magazine pictures, personal travel photo, sequins, specialty glitter and metallic papers, watercolor and jeweled appliqués on watercolor paper. The image has been transformed into a foldable printable card, left blank on the inside, and professionally printed onto 100% cotton Museo® Artist Cards. These acid-free cards also come with a complimentary matching envelope.
