I was so excited when the Lovely Kirsty from City Crafters e-mailed me and asked me to join in their challenge at city crafter as guest designer. Of course I immediately jumped at the chance and said YES!! I then I asked Kirsty what the challenge was and she said Pride and Prejudice .... well I knew it was meant to be!!!
I can not even begin to tell you how obsessed I am with P&P .... I practically know the Colin Firth adaptation off by heart ... I have read it so many times. I have 5 copies of pride and prejudice, not including having it on my kindle, and I have just bought another copy so I could have one as an art journal. ....... well then I had a gizillion ideas so the next problem was trying to channel myself in one direction.
In the end I decided to think practically, how would I use the finished project? So I decided to make a card that would be suitable to give to a P&P fanatic like myself!
This is another Serif based project, and I have added in a lovely image from Saturated Canary ... I have added Pride and Prejudice to the spine of the book. Also I used an Image from MSC "Regency Bonnets" so that she could be dreaming of Mr Darcy .... as every girl does .... and of course the most loved quite of all time:
" You Must Allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and Love You"
After I printed it out and coloured, I then added some frantage and some embellishments from my box of bits, and well this is the finished result!!
So please, lets loose ourselves in the world of Austin this week and join in over at city crafter
Thanks For Looking
Hugs Juls

so gorgeous an utterly romantic scene, love how you created this room and her sitting dreaming of Mr Darcy. I clean for a lovely lady of 87 and she is reading the book at the moment. How wonderful at her age.

Hi Juls, great news on gDT spot - they are lucky to have you, your cards and art are just fab!
ReplyDeleteLove this card as well, am another fan of Pride and Prejudice. One of my favourite bits is when Lizzie first sees Pemberley House - you can almost hear the cogs turning in her head as you turn the pages. I think I would like to live there too!!!

PS - Not wanting to be rude here, but are you a Colin Firth era girl or one of the later adaptations? Also did you watch 'Lost in Austen' on the TV a few years ago - liked that one!
