The Nepali Cherish 4x6\" greeting cards come with matching envelopes which are also hand made with Lokta paper. The cards, envelopes, and gift box feature cornflower petals added in the creation of the paper. The paper comes from Lokta bushes which grow in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal. This tree-free bush grows back quickly when cut, making it a sustainable source. The fibrous inner-bark is cooked into a mash and then spread by hand across boxed screens, forming the paper as it dries and hardens in the Himalayan sunshine. Lokta paper has a unique texture with one side showing the intricate pattern from the screen used to create the paper, and the other side, called the sun-kissed side, shows a more natural and varied texture. The fibrous nature may produce some feathering and ghosting if writing with pens with heavy ink. Lokta paper has a fabric-like feel making it a special choice for invitations, thank-you notes, or other special greetings. The cornflower flower petals are added by hand as the lokta paper forms, making each card unique with a special randomness, a lot like life. Cornflower petal color and richness can vary from season to season also connecting the design to the earth's natural cycles. The oldest surviving Lokta paper is a copy of the Karanya Buha Sutra Buddhist text, estimated to be 1,000 to 1,900 years old. Lokta Paper is still used today for official Nepali government documents and has been produced in a similar fashion for centuries. Thank you for being a part of a tradition that spans over 1,000 years of handmade paper making in Nepal.
