To My Valentine
Valentine's Day card made of four pieces. The main piece is of a large shell boat pulled by two swans on a pond filled with water lilies. A cutout of a large cherub is inserted into the shell. On the front is a cutout of a swan with another cutout of a smaller cherub glued to it. Both cherubs are holding flowers. The swans are hinged with paper so they create a three dimensional piece that can stand up. The text "To My Valentine" is printed on the shell. Chromolithograph, embossed, die cut and printed in Germany. |
