Speakeasy Rendezvous

I love the images, fashions and music from the 20s and 30s. With that in mind, today's creation is a gift card holder I made for Flying Unicorn Creative Team. It's made from  Curtain Call paper from Graphic45 and you can find it in the Flying Unicorn store. I adore this paper, it has such fantastic graphics and that Jazz age theme.

I am also showing you one of my dear husbands Classic Wrecks that he makes and sells on Etsy. He was asked to create a custom automobile for an actress in the  Broadway show  to open soon called "Bonnie and Clyde" . It's a replica of the Bonnie and Clyde bullet ridden car! Thought it went nicely with the theme of today's post.

To make the card, I layered different Curtain call papers. I cut out a heart and the piano keys. I added some black lace, a Burgundy Black rose from from the Flying Unicorn store, a stick pin and some Dimensional Pearls. The two sided paper made decorating the interior of the card easy.  I made a pocket then cut out the little tickets, the gift card can just slip into the pocket.With that... I was all ready to dance!

Hope you will get to dance this week.
take care, gerri

    having problems commenting this time around so leaving another comment.

    Fabulous piece which really speaks to me. I would have loved to visit a Speakeasy, not because of the bootleg alcohol (actually I don't drink!) nor because I am a flirty floozy (well not in this lifetime!) but there is something appealing.
    Love those papers.
    Wishes
    Lynne
    P.S. Your husband has such talent.
