A Romantic Card

While surfing the web yesterday I found this amazing card, on a blog called Handcrafted by Ellapu, using the image I posted a few days ago.  I was lucky enough to get Elaine's permission to share this with you.  I love her use of color and the distressing she has added to the image in order to create a feeling of romance.  She has also added beautiful frame to the image.

Please take a look at Elaine's blog for some close ups of this project and more of her of her inspiring artwork.

Border Art

Originally these designs were made printed as embroidery patterns in Peterson's Magazine.  Both of them are over 130 years old.  I have posted the JPEG and PNG version.  

Digital Two for Tuesday 137

Both of these gems are over 130 years old.  They are from a Peterson's Ladies Magazine from August of 1878.  I dare you to make a summer card using these images.

Digital Two for Tuesday 136

To vintage plant images from the early 1900's.

Beautiful Flowers

Both of these images are from the 1919 Park's magazine I have been posting from this week.

Roses and Hollyhocks for You

Two types of flowers from the 1915 Park's magazine.  

Digital Two for Tuesday 135

Today's images are from a March 1915 Park's Floral Magazine.  The magazine is 97 years old and made of a pulp paper which has turned extremely brown.  It is filled with helpful hints on how to grow dozen's of flowers.  The pictures below were two toned but I have made them monochomatic for these digital stamps.  The flower on the left is suppose to be faded, to make it look more in the background.  I'm not sure that translates in b&w.

A Few Doodles

I have been fooling around the last few days with making digital stamps on my IPad. The program I am using is IDraw. I wish I had a little more control with my stylus but I guess with practice that will come.

Digital Two For Tuesday 134

I picked up this interesting booklet from 1931 this weekend called Forest Trees of Connecticut, A Pocket Manual.  It is filled with tree leaves and berries.  Both of these are from the pine family.

For the Motorcycle Lover in Your Life

Both images are from an ad in a 1932 Popular Mechanics magazine.

My First Attempt at Making My Own Images

I made this digital stamp on my iPad this evening using IDraw. I am still figuring it out but I thought I would share.
