This card is a special request for a American gentleman who will be traveling to France and celebrating his wife's birthday while they're here. They'll be visiting the chateaux of the Loire and he wanted a card with a chateau. This is an image from an old book I have called Histoire de France. This is the Chateau de Chambord, a very famous, breathtakingly beautiful chateau—a must if you're visiting the chateaux in the Loire valley.
I opted to keep the card relatively flat so that it would be less likely to be damaged in luggage. I added a fleur de lys charm on a silk cord to give it an elegant touch, without adding too much bulk. I've used Papermania Capsule Collection Parisienne Blue papers (these are so pretty and look so French).
