Nayuleska's thoughts
I was
intrigued by the concept of creating outfits for figures on cards. The cards
themselves are sturdy, with a brightly coloured backing. They are almost A4
size, so much bigger than postcards, but this makes them more fun! Each artcard
has a theme, which you are free to follow or ignore. These include:
dolls
(think of a big brand of doll beginning with B), the seaside, glamping (not
entirely sure what that is – think it’s a fashionable way of camping),
fashionistas, dog walking, being on stage, having a tea party, feet (footwear
is hugely important!), models, skiing, sleepovers.
I think
there are more stickers than dolls, so you really should be able to find the
perfect outfit, and create some more yourself. See what I did for the
sleepover! I didn’t necessarily stick with the same style.
I didn’t
100% adore the style of clothes/models, and, to be honest, I wasn’t that keen
on having not only girls but guys in the book too. Maybe it’s because I’m used
to sticker books for younger children which pretty much only has girls
(possibly a gender stereotyping thing but I’m not getting into that here).
