Vintage Mixed Media Cards

I would probably call this first Mixed Media card

a "Melange" with a Vintage flavour and with

a touch of "Australiana"

 as this one incorporates both a vintage themed printed paper napkin

and Australian subject in the dear little Blue Wren bird

also on a paper napkin.

 

 

 This next one has been created using many layers 

of fabrics and laces of different sorts

 

 This image was downloaded free

thanks to Julia at Cemerony

She shares some very beautiful images there

such as this one and many other

digitally altered ones that can be used in your projects

 

which lends itself to some beautiful layering

just as she has achieved in her image. 

 

If these appeal to you then they are both

available in my Etsy shop

with all the materials which have gone into the construction of
these two fabric, lace and stamped collages.
These have now made their way out of my shop!!!

I think it may soon be time to share some garden

images as we slowly merge from

Summer into Autumn

here

where I live!

Love and hugs to you all,

Gifts in the Mail!

I'd like to share a couple of gifts that arrived in the mail

recently.

Firstly from my dear Dorthe, (Denlillelade) one of the

 most talented dollmakers

you will ever find sent me this amazing gift

from Bornholm.

 Oh my goodness! and what a darling she is!

 

 Dressed so elegantly in her handmade vintage broderie anglaise

 lace dress gathered at the waist with some white

velvet ribbon with a bow charm! 

 

She arrived no worse for wear after her very long trip

across the ocean

 

 

 with her pretty bow in her long shaggy hair - 

her bloomers are sheer so

not to be revered!!!

 

 

 with the prettiest expression painted on her face 

and now she lives happily with her sister

angel who arrived last year.

 

 

 Now don't these two dolls look as if they just belong together?

Sisters together can live forever!

Sincere heart felt thanks my sweet Dorthe

- a friendship so special

and so dear to me!

 

 

 Look at this card which arrived with it -

so many collaged textures, papers and lace

- it's a piece of art to treasure in itself!

And all the way from England came another most

exquisite card made by dear Liz 

(Lululizinlalaland)

 

 

 Isn't that such a beautiful image and she's framed

with some the softest rich feathers too

and

 

with this were a vintage darning mushroom.

I can feel just how well used and loved this is from

holding and using it!!!

(yes I have already put to the test too!) 

as well as a huge stash of

incredible vintage ephemera such as 

these.

 

 

 

and these superb photos and postcards to

play with........now this girl knows me

far too well

after our years of friendship.

 

Thank you so much dear Liz - you already know

how much I appreciate it all!!!

Speaking of cards I have just completed my first two

Easter cards which I will have in my Etsy shop

shortly.

Thank you all for you kind comments -

it is such a pleasure to have you visit me -

I am truly grateful!!!
