April in Paris Encore Gift Cards
I created the original ink and watercolor painting for “April in Paris Encore” from a photograph my husband took while in a taxi stopped in traffic on the iconic Pont Alexandre III, years ago. Now this evocative image is a best-seller and favorite with Francophiles, along with a memory of a rainy day in Paris. And there’s a secret ingredient — along with watercolor and deep black Chinese ink, I used broux de noix — walnut stain crystals mixed with water. (Apropos, I purchased the broux de noix in Paris.) Reproduced from my original watercolor and ink “April in Paris Encore” is printed on high-quality paper. The set of eight folded cards and envelopes is packaged with a bow, ready as a lovely gift for a friend or yourself. Tip: these fun and elegant small cards add the finishing touch to any package — elevating even a garden bouquet or home-baked cookies to something even more special. Horizontal cards make lovely place cards too! Gift cards are 1-3/4 in. X 3-3/8 inches when folded,
