Merci


 I have an Eiffel Tower stamp that is just a tad too big to fit on an A2 card, so I used it for this mini-slimline card.  The tower is black-embossed onto a patterned paper with a very discrete gray design on it. Along the right edge, the word "Merci" was repeatedly printed. Down the left is a fascinating bit of trim that sort of looks like the open ironwork on the tower; the trim is silver and blue and adds a little simmer to the card.  The gray paper is mounted on a shimmery blue mat, which is on a white card with a very narrow reveal around the edges of the blue.  Another piece of shimmery blue was die-cut as a round tag. There's something that sort of looks like a Fleur de Lis black-embossed on the tag. (I keep thinking I have a fleur de lis stamp, but I cannot find it and decided this would have to do).
