Good morning to all my lovely blogging friends and visitors! It's a rainy day in Wisconsin, but I'm not complaining...we really need the rain!
Today, I'd like to share another vintage gift idea which I will also be entering in Tilda's Town. I found this tutorial on Marianne's blog. She is an amazing artist I have been following for a couple of years. Her work is truly spectacular and very inspirational.
The inside of this card has a place for a chocolate bar. I was going to place a Tobler bar on the inside, but, alas, it did not fit! Perhaps the smaller Dove bar will be just right....will have to see!!!! I used the lovely Pion Papers for this project and Miss Tilda is colored with copics.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. I appreciate it very much. Hugs, Christina
Hello Christina, I totally agree with you, Marianne is an exceptional artist, and she inspires me very much! I love your little tilda, you colored her wonderfully, cute curly hair! Love very much the vintage look of those Pion papers, your card is just fabulous, wonderful presentation for a sweet thought to someone you care for. Have a lovely day... PS your rain is coming over Montreal LOL Hugs.

ReplyDeleteMe again, Christina:-) Thank you for your lovely comments:-) and to answer your question, I have not sprayed anything on my image coloured in pencils, the white texture of the paper shows and is maybe accentuated by the photo, but it is 100% pencils. No fixative either:-) Have a lovely evening! Hugs Delphine xx
ReplyDeleteChristina, this is absolutely beautiful and what a fabulous idea to have a chocolate bar card. Love it, but with the tempatures, I would hate to have it out in our mail box too long, LOL!!! So would have to have it for a give to gift!! But love the idea and your colors are so beautiful and the card is so gorgeous. You really did a stunning job with your layout and Tilda.
