Sponsor Spotlight + GIVEAWAY: Cassandra Allen

Please meet the sweet and talented Cassandra Allen, children's book illustrator extraordinaire and a new sponsor of Marvelous Kiddo!

Cassandra is a prolific artist whose whimsical and enchanting work can be found between the pages of numerous picture books, as well as in her Etsy shop and on her lovely blog.

Some details...

I am excited to tell you that Cassandra has generously offered to extend two special offers for my readers:

1. A giveaway of one print to one lucky reader, incl. free shipping. Below is the giveaway print called Best Friends.
Info about the print:
Limited Edition of 50 archival quality Giclee prints
Print area approximately: 255 x 160mm (with a white border)
Printing medium: Giclee archival print
Paper: Somerset Enhanced 255gsm
Limited edition print (of very lovely quality) of Cassandra's original illustration created in gouache and pencil. Hand signed and numbered, eg, 2/50.

2. A 50% discount on all purchases for the month of August to all Marvelous Kiddo readers (doesn't apply to shipping).
Important Note from Cassandra: "With Etsy, there is unfortunately no way to offer a promo code during the checkout that automatically discounts the price, so people would need to do the following and then I'll invoice them with the updated discount price. When checking out, put the promo code "Marvelous Kiddo" in the "Message to Seller" section to receive the discount. Do no pay immediately or you won't receive the discount. I will send an invoice with the discounted price."

To enter the giveaway, please visit Cassandra Allen Illustration and leave a relevant comment on this post by Sunday, August 22.
Please be sure that your email or other contact info is contained in the comment to be eligible to win.
Thanks, and good luck!

  8. Cassandra's blog and her work are incredible! Her "best friends" print looks identical to my 4 year old niece and 5 year old nephew (10 and a half months apart in age) who are, in every definition of the term, best friends. I would so love to win this print so I could frame it and put it in their room. It is spooky how much it looks like them!
