Tonight I worked on a gift for a friend who loves to send snail mail. While on the phone with her the other day she was reminiscing about a trip she and her husband took to Paris. I remembered these vintage souvenir cards my mom handed down to me and decided I could use them to make her a some blank stationary.
They were looking a little ho-hum with just the picture and stamping, at this point my mind usually travels to glitter as an embellishment. I wanted the effect to be subtle so I used coordinating colors from my Sparkle N Sprinkle collection.
Glitter colors: Misty Blue & Shimmering Seas
Gold Dust and Bronze Splendor
Golden Silver and Celestial
Charcoal and Black Ice
Thanks for stopping by,
Angie
I love what you did with the recycling! Just a little bit of glitter gives the set of cards just what it needed.
