A spray of bamboo in soft blue ink leans across the cover, from Hu Zhengyan's Ten Bamboo Studio, a book printed in colour in Nanjing in 1633. The leaves fade from deep blue to pale because the printer wiped the colour on the woodblock by hand. For someone who loves quiet, graceful things.

Add four of your own photos and your own words; we print the card in the US and post it for you.
