| We love this beautiful handmade African Angel note card from South African collage artist Elsie Oettle. Fun and funky, this sassy little angel will bring a smile to your face. A dazzling combination of contemporary folk art and traditional African symbols and motifs. These note cards are so beautiful, most recipients end up framing them. This striking collage of handmade paper, resin, brass, twigs, feathers and fabric features a blank inside for any occasion. Envelope included.
Handmade in South Africa
Card is 4.13" W x 5.75" H | Envelope: 4.5" W x 6.25" H
