Cadeau pour ce monde

The hand-painted card stock feels so substantial in your hands, and the antique foil press stamping adds this gorgeous, old-world shine you can't get from a machine. I bought it just for the art alone, but the one-of-a-kind swirl make it a really special gift.

The swirl paint process gives it this depth you just don't see in mass-produced cards, and the hand-painted feel makes it almost too pretty to give away. I keep it propped on my shelf, the foil catching the light from the window.

The foil stamping on this one caught the light so beautifully when I opened the envelope — feels like a tiny piece of art. You can tell it’s hand painted because the swirls have this depth that a printed card just can’t match.
