Thank You Card of a Selkie Seal

This coastal thank you card shows a selkie seal resting on a little island with rolling waves and Scots Pines trees.

The illustration mixes soft watercolour paint effect with block print texture, and is inspired by the folklore of the North Sea coast. Selkies are seal-like shapeshifters who sometimes shed their seal skins and become enchanting human spouses.

Their homesickness gives them a tendency to abandon their human families though and some humans keep them on land against their will by hiding their seal skin. Part of Giverly’s Kelpies and Selkies Scottish Coastal Folklore collection, it’s printed in the UK on FSC textured board and supplied with a recycled Kraft envelope.
