Amelie card

One of the most viewed posts on my blog is my drawings of the outfits worn by Audrey Tautou in the film Amelie, so I thought it would be fun to share this Amelie card that I made many years ago.

The background was made by using a texture plate with a brick design (as a reference to the tiles in the metro stations), to which I added paint to emphasise the pattern. I used various colours of card for Amelie and her outfit, and ran some of it through a paper ribber to give it texture.

I printed a quote from the movie on acetate, using a different font to emphasise some of the words. I glued the acetate to the card with a few spots of glue, and added some perspex hearts to cover the glue.
