Write On!

I pride myself on being an excellent pen-pal; not only do I write back in a timely fashion (usually), but I always try to send tarjetas bonitas y únicas.  I love writing and receiving letters!  And lucky for me, my grandparents aren´t the only ones who still appreciate snail mail.  I´ve been making my own cards for years—it´s just more fun than buying them (though I do enjoy that as well!)—and I´ve finally gotten it together to have made some and not used them immediately myself.  My fourth addiction is paper stores (for numbers 1-3 read my El árbol de la vida post)!  Adoro all kinds of paper, especially those with gorgeous designs, and always collage them into my card-making. 

While Spain is not exactly paper goods heaven, I am trying to do my part with these Charles Rennie Mackintosh-inspired cards.  The turquoise cards are decorated on both sides with the iconic Mackintosh roses from the Arts and Crafts Movement, and come with matching brown envelopes.  I have also incorporated hand-drawn motifs in silver permanent marker.  Cards and envelopes come as a set of five and will make the recipient of your letters even more delighted to check the buzón! 

Available for sale on my Etsy page. 

Each card is unique in design
