Digital Two for Tuesday 70

This week we have two more images from the book Yourself and Your House Wonderful.  This book is loaded with fun images.  I hope you are enjoying them as much as I. 

 Our Guest hostess this week is the talented Julia.  She has made two beautiful and vibrant cards that really make you feel a part of the images. 
Here is her bio in her own words.
"When I was a little girl a liked crafting and drawing/coloring a lot. I think most children like it. Then I grow up…and there was a big gap in my crafting… until September 2009 when I decided to learn how to work with Adobe Photoshop. I discovered for myself the world of digital scrap and loved to play with all kinds of brushes and textures. I also came across blogs of people which did “real scrapbooking”, and I admired it but I thought that it’s not for me… J But the little girl that still lived inside of my soul and loved crafting woke up and said that should try it! I tried… and felt in love with it! Probably it was time for me to get back to what I really am, to myself real…

So I am quite new to this world. I like scrapbooking, cardmaking, ATC, mixed media and altered art and I also like to try something new. As for styles, now I feel that I prefer vintage and shabby chic. I’ m glad that my hobby let me meet a lot of interesting and talented people.
These are the cards I’ve made with Cora’s pictures. I colored them with watercolor pencils. It is an amazing feeling to work with pictures that were drawn over hundred years ago. It is like you continue work of the artist who lived so long ago…"

For “PLAY” card I used scrapbook paper (Prima), ribbon, hand-made flower , “play” ticket (Tim Holtz), Antique Linen Distress.
 For “FRIENDS” card I printed out the background and wording. I colored the flower with yellow and orange markers – it was white before and added a vintage button.
