Illustration Friday - Total

This week's topic had me stumped, I had no idea what to draw ...but here is my take on the topic.

Total Commitment....shopping for an Engagement ring!

I made some of these postcards last night....a little experiment using scrapbook paper on card stock and some decorative paper napkins...I found these black/white napkins at the dollar store and they are quite sheer when you seperate the layers....add a little modge podge and a trim to size...Voila!

Cute illustration and you're right, that is total committment (at least for some people). I love the postcard--are you going to send it to someone? I've always admired people who make pretty postcards and send notes on them.

Your postcard is fantastic. I've heard of that modge podge but never used it. Are you going to frame it?

A completely beautiful drawing and postcard! The layers are very hazy - almost feeling like being lost in a wood late at night (if you know what I mean)...

Have a great weekend :)

I envy your drawing skills. I know I have told you that before, but I do. That is a great take on "total". Ah, the ring, it means so much to some and nothing to others. I love the postcard, too, what a great idea!!!
