A new dress for Vicky’s Beaujolais Nouveau

Maybe you remember this? 2 months ago I was asking you to vote for your favorite label of Beaujolais Nouveau. You had chosen a raspberry back color with a floral motif, lighter and very pretty. As always on the label, the silhouette that is a reminder of my first blog design. Strangly enough, the wine label were sent to me before preparing the order, without the...
