This Mo Manning image is called "Prince Edward Island" and depicts one of my favourite childhood fictional characters - Anne of Green Gables - and she was a "must have" for me. You can purchase her from Mo's store HERE.
I remember having read all of the books and sitting through the series and movies everytime they came on the TV - no such thing as buying a television show on DVD or Blu-Ray in those days! I think I drove my family crazy. These days I'm obsessive when it comes to Pride and Prejudice - even though I studied it for 2 years in High School - LOL. I know my family roll their eyes whenever the DVD comes out - YAY - 6 HOURS of BBC excellence ; )
Anyway - back to my card! I just LOVE the way this has turned out - the colours and textures remind me of a Spring day - perfect for a young girl embarking on a new life! The DP is from 7 Gypsies - and has a marvellous array of colours and images - who needs more! Just pop the image on, some lace, flowers and pearls with some Spring butterflies and its done!

OMGosh, look at that gorgeous lace! And, of course, a stellar piece of art!
ReplyDeleteI was an avid reader as a child, but I don't recall reading Anne of Green Gables. Maybe I should now?
Counting the hours 'til you're here to teach me how to color to beautifully!
