Vintage Cards and Updates

I got some greeting cards listed in the past week.

Success and Happiness Vintage Greeting Card



This was from a cut out of an old greeting card. I love how old fashioned looking it is.

Vintage Dancers Greeting Card



This uses a cut out from an issue of Life magazine of people dancing. I bought some old magazines and made a bunch of cards out of pages from them.

I love making something new out of old things. I'm working on this art project where I'm doing paintings that show scenery and animals from different countries around the world. I found a bunch of vintage maps on EBay for really cheap. I'm using them to collage with my paintings. They were really cheap too.

I also got this nature themed card listed:

Nature Lover's Greeting Card



I usually use glue to hold down paper, but I tried using double sided tape for this card. I like how it worked because the paper stayed perfectly smooth and it didn't leave any marks in it like the glue sometimes does. I think I might stick to using glue though because I think it holds it down better.

I'll have more Pi Day and Easter cards up soon! I have a bunch of photos to edit that I haven't had time to do.

Also, I'm helping to promote this giveaway. She makes handmade jewelry, but is giving away cash if you post her banner on your site. You can read more about it here.
