3 Sheep Croft Christmas Cards

‘Ca' the yowes to the knowes, Ca' them where the heather grows, Ca' them where the burnie rowes, My bonnie Dearie’, Scottish folk song, transcribed by Robert Burns (1759-96)
Pop-up Christmas cards presenting a snowy Highland scene of sheep, crofts and mountains; echoing the traditional Scottish folk song: ‘Drive the ewes to the hills, Drive them where the heather grows, Drive them where the stream flows, My beautiful dear’. Recorded and then adapted by Robert Burns (1759-96) in the 1790s, the song has survived to be performed into the 20th and 21st centuries, notably sung and popularised by Kathleen Ferrier (1912-53). Ingeniously created as a scene within a bottle-shaped card – echoing the scrimshaw artform of ‘ships in bottles’ - the winter scene is created from six laser-cut layers; simply press the sides of the card together and the design pops up from flat. Supplied flat for posting. With a blank space for your message on the back, the cards make a lovely way to send greetings to your own ‘bonnie Dearies’ this Christmas.
