Un Télégramme pour Papa...

Hi, Whilst making this card, I was picturing someone being away from their father, and sending out a telegram  to wish him a Happy Father's Day....

All the papers are fussy cut and distressed from  G45 Communiqué, Postage and Pen in Hand.

Trying to stay true to the period, I used a handmade paper as the background, and a feather , representing the quill pen of the time. In french a pen and a feather are called the same, une plume .

Added some burlap  for the cuff, and a vintage button with a Lion Head, (as in  King of the Castle...) for the cuff link, beads and rafia for the telegram...




On the inside the paper is glimmer misted with Coffee Shoppe ( LOVE this colour) a P, for Papa or Pops, an envelope with a tag for the note...






This week I am joining Mojo Monday with Sarah from La-De-Dah as the theme is Man Up.

As well as Sugar Creek Hollow, whose theme is Father's Day.


Have a great week, bisous G.
