Christmas in the Mail

This beautiful silver and white Christmas postcard arrived in my mailbox today from Beate Knappe in Germany. It was a fabulous surprise on a day when I really needed something good to happen!

It may be hard to see all of the textures on this card, but it is phenomenal. The white at the top and the tree appear to be a felt-like fabric, and there is silver mesh on the background, with glitter and silver stars sprinkled all over the card. The whole card is wrapped ribbon-style with thin silver wire. What a visual treat --- thank you very much, Beate!
