So, as I have mentioned a few times here recently, I am going to open an Etsy shop to sell Cartolina Art Prints. I get so many emails and calls from people interested in buying prints so I think it's a fun idea. The trouble I am having though is trying to figure out which of our images would work best as framed art. I'm hoping you can help me :-)
I have formatted the images that I know are the most popular onto 11 x 17 sheets for printing. I am having them professionally printed at our printers in Vancouver. So they will be a lovely quality with lots of brilliant vintage details. I'd like to start with 12 prints in the shop and then add to the collection over time.
I've prepared 20 and we
need to whittle it down to 12 - that's where you come in . . . . I'd love to know which ones you would consider buying or which ones you think will be the most popular. Some will be great for a kids room, some are more conservative - hopefully there's something for everyone! Please can you take a minute and let me know what you think - even if you just list your top 4 or 5 favourites. Leave your comments and I'll pick a couple of names from the list to win a free print when I get them printed next week! And if you think I've missed any obvious ones just let me know! Thank you so much - what would I do without you :-)
As you can see above, most of the art prints will have a natural vintage edge so that they can be framed with a small white release (which means you don't need to mat them) or you can mat them right over the edge for a clean look.

I love the ladies in the dresses (all four), the bunny and 232 "Love is all you need".
Okay, this is how I would buy them...in three series or groupings ...
Group A - 197, 230, 229, 228
Group B - 227, 203, 207, 205 Poppy
Group C - 232, 233, 204, 201, 179, 205 Bravo
and if you forced me to pick only 12 then I would eliminate #205 Poppy & #233 tree
Ruthless I know
Hope this helps
I LOVE your work! My faves are:
205 Poppy
204 Lucky You
205 Bravo
227 Bouquet
Looking forward to the opening of your Etsy shop! :)

Holy cow - 26 comments all ready - thank you!
All ready I can see a pattern of favourites showing up - this is so helpful to me. I'm sure if you are a designer or artist you know how partial you can get to some designs but it can be for all the wrong reasons - it helps me so much to see your choices here.
Thanks again,
Fiona

I've always loved the poppy in 205 as well as the gorgeous colors in 228, 229, and 230. I would buy any of those in a heartbeat!
These will look so fabulous in a larger format!

205-Bravo

204-Lucky You
232-Love is...
I love your designs. In fact yours was the first App I purchased fo my iphone, when I send a text...it bightens the receivers day! O.K. here is my thoughts: 130, 229, & 228 are stuuning and unexpected, I would love to see them offered as trio collecion. 197,207,208,232,204,201,205,237 and 135 are my choice for the prints. I think the 1st design would be great(elephant) on a pillow! Thank you for asking my opinion.
Gigi
Fiona, how fun. You know I love ALL of your designs, but if I have to pick (for me...as you said...we all have different taste) here we go:
not in any order...110,228,230,197, 207, 198, 232, 204, 201, 205, 179, 237...
tried to get a well-rounded group without too many of the same design.
Good luck!
Wonderful news about the prints. I'm loving #s:
227,207, 232, 204, 205 Bravo, 233, 205 (are there two of this number?), 179, 135, 110, 198, 201. You have a wonderful eye. Thanks for sharing it (them?) with all of us.
Gosh I dont even know which one my favourites are! because they all are! but anyway My fav prints are:
- For kids: #110 , #208, #179
- For Greetings: #207, #198, #205, #201, #204

Hope that helps, Cant wait for the opening of your etsy shop! :D

I love them all, but think 230, 229, 228 amd 197 would work especially well as prints.
You are going to do *so* well on etsy :)

I Love Wish Big (The elephant is hard to resist) Lucky You with the hot air balloons and the gorgeous poppy. Smart of you to start small - the requests will start pouring in!!
-Jessica
i LOVE how rich they are and adore each but i think i would avoid the ones that seem to be most fitting as a greeting card. People will want to display them as art in their home! good luck - they are all beautiful - especially 237 :)
So very hard to decide, I LOVE them all! Here are my favorites: 110,230,229,228,227,203,207,201,232,
305,182 & 197. Looking forward to the ETSY shop!
Love your stuff! 232, 305, 203 and 182.
I have a few obsessions, two of which are covered by 110 and 182 (elephants and lotuses make me happy).
305 is beautiful too.
237 would be great in my kitchen.
Can't wait till these are available!
207 & 232
Every single one is lovely, Fiona. If I had to choose, it would be #'s 182, 203, 230, 229 and 228. For you, it must be like trying to choose your favorite "child". I'm sure your etsy site will be a hit.
the loved ones for me as to be 227, 203, 208 and the best for last (at least for me) the 232.
my friends just love my little notes with cartolina card that i send on my iphone. just makes the message so more beautiful to look at! thank you!
Love these:
110, 182, 204 and 229
Yeah, congrats on your Etsy shop!
While all your work is visually gorgeous, I absolutely love 232. I can see that hanging in my house surrounded by pictures of family and friends. It could easily be a beautiful frame gift. 110, 197.182, and 204 round out my top 5. I'm looking forward to your shop!
Wow 61 comments - thank you so much everyone!
I think I'll just keep the voting up for a couple of days because I really have to get these off to the printers.
I have had a few comments regarding the wording on the prints. I am quite happy to take suggestions from you regarding words/greetings. I realize that most of these were designed for cards so obviously I have taken the Happy Birthdays off them - but if you have any ideas I would love to hear from you.
Thanks everyone - you're so helpful!
Fiona
My top six picks, for what it's worth:
110
227
203
232
305
237
OK. I think you have already a lot of comments with picks...
I think your prints are absolutely beautiful and whatever you pick it's going to be a hit ;)
Hi Fiona!
I'm a little late getting to this, but I love this idea.
My favorites are 227, 197, 305, 182, and 237, which is my very favorite.
Best of luck with your Etsy shop, cannot wait to see it!
All so appealing, your work is a delight! If I MUST choose, 204, 232, 182 207 and 110 would keep me happy for quite some time. But I would have to come back for more! Good luck with your new ventures, you are an inspiration.
Are you serious - it's impossible to choose just a few! These are all so beautiful! Can't wait for your shop to open :) Good luck!
My favorites are 201 and 237!
I'm usually way off base, however, of the group I'd go for # 203 (teacups). But I really like two that aren't on the list and they are:
"Bonjour" (Eiffel Tower)
"I'm Wild For You" (Japanese wavers)
I'm sure whatever you choose will do very well
Hi Fiona!
Well, if your Uncle is going to add my 2 cents...
#230, #229, #228
#197, #207, #208
#232, #233, #227
#203, #305, #201
That would be my top 12 list.
Hope that helps! :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
My top 3, starting with my favorite: 182, 201, 204

My favorites include:

Lots of featured items on Etsy have sayings and your elephant is uniquely wonderful:
227
So glad to have found your work!!!
I look forward to putting a few of these around the house!
My picks are:
305 Poppy
203 Tea cups (for my kitchen)
197 Lady
182 Waterlily
I like:
203, 197, 104 and 237
It is really difficult to pick favorites from these prints; however, at this time #232 is absolutely perfect for my picture wall I am putting together for the master bedroom. That being said, however, #305 and #237 would work perfectly in my dining room right now. I can see so many others being fantastic for gifts! So glad you have decided to print these. I will definitely be looking for your Etsy store.
yes, group them and have them ALL on the etsy shoppe... they are all so wonderful! xo
I would definitely buy 182. I also love the ladies 228, 229 and 230. Of the three I think I prefer 230 because I love green. I would hang it in my room near my dresser.
My faves: 203, 182, 237.
Found you recently and I just have to tell you the 5 prints I'm really wanting right now!!!
135, 201, 208, 232, 237
Love them!!
