"La Vie en Rose" is a classic French song and quintessential phrase that translates to "Life in Pink", but is really more about living in a state of bliss or joy. With metal stamps, Cynthia added the phrase to her sweet bracelet, along with Nunn Design charms and cheerful colors courtesy of an Artbeads Designer Blend. Discover even more fun ideas for adding metal stamps in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
