Sing, sing a song...La vie en rose is the most beautiful French song I know!!
I used the double gate fold technique, using design paper , stamped butterflies and French sentiments, added lace pearls and roses and of course the main color is rose = pink
I hope the recipient will like it

Wow!!! That is absolutely gorgeous, Anita. And it reminds me of my mother, who used to listen a lot to Edith Piaf. Such a wonderful song-inspired card. I'm sorry about your toothache.

Oh Anita you've chosen one of my favourite songs and your card is gorgeous. I could listen to Edith Piaf all day, everyday.
We went to her grave the last time we were in Paris. It was a bit hard to find at first because she is buried under her married name.

Anita, the recipient is not going to like your card at all....they are going to LOVE it! You have made a stunning card that represents that beautiful song perfectly. This is a show stopper indeed! ~Karen.

Oh, Anita, this is a favorite of mine, too. Have you heard the version with Andrea Bocelli where they pulled in Edyth Piaf's voice as well to make a duet? Gives me chills every time. This is so very French (to me) and so perfect for the song. Just beautiful! Gorgeous work, Anita.
