Pop-up greeting card

Greetings,
I tried a new craft this week and it's a pop-up card. I was planning to try this from a long time. The pictures are taken from Beatrix Potter's 'The tale of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle'. The front of the card shows Lucie looking for her lost handkerchiefs and pinafore, and the inside shows Mrs. Tiggy-winkle busy with her washing and ironing in her kitchen.
I love Mrs. Tiggy-winkle's character. Although many of Beatrix Potter's story book animals were based on her own pets, she often gave them human qualities too. The character of Mrs. Tiggy Winkle was inspired by Kitty McDonald, an old Scottish washerwoman, "a comical, round little old woman, as brown as a berry and wears multitude of petticoats".
Beatrix's tame hedgehog, Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, did her duty as a model.
(This information is taken by the original and authorised edition of 'The complete tales of Beatrix Potter').




This project is made from 'The big Peter Rabbit book' which includes things to do, games to play, stories presents to make etc.
Until next...
Revs!
