Today is a very special day for me, it's my mum's birthday, the closest and dearest friend I ever had. Not a day goes by without thinking about her and so today I'd like to honour her with this card. She was very fond of the colours yellow and green and - like me - she adored the 19th century. The girl in the medallion is somehow slightly vulnerable, but on the other hand she's very decisive, she has the look of a buccaneer. I coloured her with Derwent Coloursoft, great pencils to work with! She reminded me so much of my mother. The butterfly represents the free spirit that my mother was and at the same time its gaiety. Mum, this one's for you!
