Sneaky peek at... Breakfast at Tiffany's
There are some things in life that never fail to make me smile. One of them is the 1961 film, Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. As strange as it may sound, I bought the film on video (showing my age now) before I'd even watched it, because I just knew I would love it. Soon after, I read the novella by Truman Capote and loved that too (it's a better story, but the film has Audrey so it wins hands down).
Back in 2003 I was lucky enough to go to New York and visit Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue. Of course it's nothing like the one in the film, but Holly Golightly was right when she said "The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there."
This week's Papercraft Session pays homage to that film with a double 'pillow box' gift box, reminiscent of the Jeweller's iconic packaging, a simple but dramatic 'Little Black Dress' card (like the one Holly wears whilst eating her breakfast at Tiffany's) and an embossed vellum card, featuring the exclusive Stampin' Up! embossing folder 'Manhattan Flower'.
