New Easter Cards

Using images from the Graphics Fairy

(thank you Karen!)

which I have stamped, inked,

stitched and altered

I have created

two handmade Easter Cards.

The First

 

 is based on a beautiful French image

 

where I have used some beautiful printed 

chiffon along with some of my own hand dyed silk 

 

 

 and in the second one I have used

a  German Vintage postcard of an angel

 

incorporating more chiffon of different sorts,

brocade, vintage net lace 

 

with sari ribbon, fabric lace and some embellishments.

I think I have turned her into a very tattered looking angel now!!! 

 

 I have also used some of my new distress inks giving

these cards more depth with toning the colours.

I have now placed these in my 

Etsy shop.
(Now both sold!!!)

Thank you dear friends for you lovely comments on my

Lace organizer (in my previous post)

 and letting me know just how you store, keep, 

hoard your own laces.

Wishing you all wellness and peace for the coming new week!

Creating Cards Again!

With Easter just around the corner

I thought I'd make a few cards

to celebrate.

 I've used some inspiration from Jeanne d'Arc Living

to create an image of a vignette of 

the Madonna surrounded by lace sitting on our living room

dresser. This has formed the centre piece for this card

 

I've used a selection of vintage laces, some vintage Japanese

white fabric, raw embroidered silk which I

machine embroidered on to

black card stock

 

 I've created two very similar cards using the same image

in two different sizes - this one above

measures 8 inches x 10 inches

and

this one below

 

is smaller and measures 4 inches x 6 inches.

(Both of these cards have now been sold!)

These two cards I have just placed in 

my Etsy shop

It's just an idea that may appeal!
