Kakao: Elisa's Dream

This ACEO Card I've done for a project of the german equivalent "Kakao Cards", the Fairytale Print Project featuring H.C. Anderssons "The Wild Swans".

Here, the heroine Elisa is told about how to break the curse which transmuted her twelf brothers into swans. In a dream, a fairy tells her that she has to pick nettles from graves and do cloth out of them, sew shirts and give them to her brothers. While doing so, no word is allowed to leave her lips, or danger and misfortune will come upon them.

Sorry, my english just sucks today

It was a lot of story to tell in a tiny 6.4 x 8.9 cm trading card T_T
