Duchesse de Polignac. French Inspired Greeting Cards, Lavender, Lined Pearl Finished Envelope Included, Set of 6- LIMITED EDITION


Yolande de Polastron, better known as the Duchesse de Polignac, was one of Marie Antoinette's best friends and later became the Governess of the royale children. This divine image is from the private collection of our very own Queen Sherry. One of our favourite customers. Sherry has requested we make her a Couture set of greeting cards and La Petite Plume has once again delivered in a jaw dropping color pallet!

Set of six greeting cards, 3.5 x 4.75, created on ribbed textured Lavender parchment, followed by a layer of Italian Imported shimmery Pearl Finished Celedon with a romantic swirl pattern. Next, a vintage inspired Fleur di Lis striped pattern in colors of years past, Sage and Pea Green adorn the top, while a floral pattern in Burnt Cantaloupe and shades of Olive cover the bottom portion. A triple band of ribbons run across the mid-section. The first ribbon is an Imported Baroque Floral from Germany, which has a ribbed texture in Chocolate and a felted Baroque design is in Olivina Green. The next two layers are in both Lavender and Plum double faced satin, and tie at the far right in a sweetheart bow. A triple medallion rests in the middle with the breathtaking image of the Duchesse de Polignac in a glorious Purple hat and Celedon shawl. The entire image is hand glittered and has two Genuine Swarovski Crystals in Olivina Green on her hat and on her choker. Lavender Pearl Finished Envelope included, luxuriously lined in Chocolate.

This set is simply a must have in your collection of La Petite Plume Stationery! Once you have them in your hands, you may not want to part with them!
