I started gluing a book page on a piece of scrap, covered with white chalk paint and sparkled brusho powders and then with a brush and water diluted this to make the bg, once dry I've embossed it with the flags, drew the row of houses on a book page and covered with white chalk paint, went over again with the micron pen, outlined the flags and doodled them, glued the row of houses on a piece of black card stock to create the shadows, cut words from the book pages to create my sentence, and splattered white chalk paint and a bit of gold pigment over the bg before gluing the street

You are so creative, Anita. I love your hand drawn houses and the wonderful banners. The background looks great and the streets of France look very jolly.

I love when someone uses a book page for part of their design. Your hand drawn house are so cute and look fab with the colorful bg and banners. Anita you are one of my favorites and your MM cards are the best!

Wow, Anita, your hand drawn village is fabulous!!! You have created an incredible piece of mixed media art on your book page. I love that you have used words from the book for your sentiment. I used to do that all the time and I haven't done it for ages. Thanks for reminding me to add it to my art journals. You are an amazing artist.
