Parisian Inspiration

Just completed a new collection of handmade greetings cards...
Each one is slightly different and features a section from an old map of Paris. 
I have added hand written 'Paris' signs inside little wooden frames.
And finished with Victorian flower scraps...
 and pretty bird illustrations. 
All ready for the Dorset Brocante this month.
