The trees clap

The trees clap
You will go out with joy!
Isaiah 55:12

The original artwork for this art card was created with vibrant Ukrainian ink dyes and pointed pen calligraphy. The dyes were sprinkled and sprayed across the paper. The delicate lettering on the spray is Isaiah 55:12, “The trees clap their hands!” and was penned with white gouache (opaque watercolor) with an oblique pointed pen (designed after the old quill pens).

The trees clap is a high-quality art card available at Flower Girl Greetings in a 4-Pack here or in the Praise Collection here.

The text on the back of the card is:

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord,
“for as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain and snow come down from heaven
and do not return there without watering the earth
and making it bring forth and bud
that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so will My word be that goes forth out of My mouth.
It will not return to Me void, but will accomplish what I please,
and it will prosper in the matter for which I sent it.
For you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace.
The mountains and the hills will break forth before you into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands!”
Isaiah 55:8-12
