These next 2 cards were posted on the old Paper Crafts site which got erased in the transition. I used Basic Grey Periphery papers on the first card which has three little pockets, each with a pull out tag.
On the second card I used Anna Griffin papers, a rubber stamp window and an image from Design Originals Epherma Book. I definetely would of done the little curtain different, I made it too thick (too many layers of paper) and it was really hard to gather and get it even. I sewed a long stitch on the sewing machine across the top of the paper, then pulled the threads hoping that they wouldn't break!
This last project is a painting that I painted about 10 years ago. The original inspiration was a note card set that a friend had sent me and I thought it would make a nice painting so I set out to see if I could replicate, or come close to the original note card. (which I don't have any left or I would post it). Before I had the painting framed, I took it to the copy store and made some black and white and also color copies which I shrunk to a card size. Then I cut them out and adhered them to cardstock and made them into cards which I have sent to friends over the years. I only have 2 cards left, a black and white and a color and I would have to take the painting apart to make anymore copies so they are hard to part with! My parents in WA had professionally framed it for me so it isn't that easy to disasemble. I posted the painting over the card as the original image shows up better than the card copies.
The Valentine giveaway that I am part of will be on the 30th - 31st and I will post the link in the next couple days. I'm so excited to be able to share some of my things!
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
