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. This set of eight flat blank notecards and envelopes is packaged with a bow, ready as a lovely gift for a friend or yourself. There's plenty of room to write a heartfelt message on the blank card. I sometimes wrap the card in a sheet of stationery for a longer letter, even leaving the card blank as an extra "gift" for the recipient! Flat notecards can also suitable for framing on their own. Notecards are 4-1/4 in. x 5-1/2 in. (A2 size) with matching white envelopes. See also folded small gift cards in the same design.
