This inspirational quote greeting card features the quote "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves." When I first started working on the artwork to accompany this beautiful message, I thought the quote was from William Shakespeare. However, even before I was done with it research revealed that Shakespeare never wrote this exact quote. It appears someone may have adapted this quote from a line in his play Julius Caesar when Cassius says:
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
Whatever the origin of the quote in question, it has a genuine beauty to me. I think sometimes we spend too much time trying to put wise words in the mouths of famous people. A quote can be inspirational simply because it is. And I, for one, love that this quote suggests that we are in charge of our own fates.
Does the quote on this starry night greeting card hold special meaning for you as well?

About Greeting Cards

Greeting cards are 5" x 7" in size and are produced on digital offset printers using 100 lb. paper stock. Each card is coated with a UV protectant on the outside surface which produces a semi-gloss finish. Each card comes with a white envelope.
These greeting cards may be ordered as a single card or in packs of 10 or 25 cards. If you would like to order cards in greater quantities or with other customization, send me a message.
How Can I Help?
It's important to me that you know you're dealing with a person rather than some large corporation. I'm Mark Tisdale and I've worked as an artist for over 15 years now. The bulk of that time selling my work on prints and other products has been a full-time job I love. Not only does your purchase keep the lights on in my world, it simply matters to me that you are a happy customer. In the spirt of the golden rule, I want for you what I want for myself when I purchase online. And at the end of the day, I hope you may purchase from me again in the future or refer me to your friends and family.
With that in mind, if there are any questions I can answer before you purchase, please contact me so that I can assist.
And yes, the same person whose art you are considering buying is the one answering emails and tracking your order after it ships. So if your order goes awry or arrives in a less than satisfactory condition, without a doubt I want and need to hear from you.
And as an artist if you like my style but don't see the specific subject you were hoping to find today, please do tell me what it is you're seeking.
