Happy New Year

Yes very well, then my first vintage postcard has become a new one..
I just loved this card (postmarked 1904!), the beautiful colours wishing for a happy new year.
It made me look forward at spring and summer again, haha, and we haven't really began the winter..
So of course this had to be a vintage..
I think the flower "swirl" is quite adorable, I frosted with Frosted Lace. I also used tiny little pearls from my "career" in jewellery making, finally coming in use ;-)

I really have to work on my sketches, I never come out with the plan I made.. Actually I find the placing quite difficult. When I do the card I think it is great, if I leave the table to walk my dog, I think it looks just too much when I get back..

But anyway, here it is, wishing you all a Happy New Year =)


Papir: Snowfall Drift from Bo Bunny and Bazill

Hobby Exhibition today



and guess where I ended up; at the "Used and Antique" stores..



I found some beautiful, authentic postcards, all of them stamped in early 1900's, I'm sooo            looking forward to make some  cards out of these!

And some lovely pinup pics, these will be awesome vintage cards! They are serial numbered, so I will have to make these some special!



I also found a fabulous "love on the roof" card, hand drawn, but it became very expensive, wouldn't know whom I could give it to...

My little sweetie wondered i we were going shopping some useful stuff to, haha, so of course we did. Some rolls of ribbons, flowers and a few lovely christmas decorating or the kitchen. And that she thought was fun stuff, we went home and she began on her fathers birthdaycard =)

So let's get to it ;-)
