let Heaven and Nature Sing!

I am on a vintage kick this past week. I think it's because Easter is on my Grandmother's birthday and I miss her and it brings back memories of old.  So here is a Christmas card that I made using a sentiment from TLC, Create which I covered with Distress ink.  I used the image from Graphic Fairy.  I distressed the edges of my paper and cardstock.  I added a feather that I had behind the image.

Hope your Birthday is SPECtacular

With my Mom having nine sisters...and three brothers...I have a lot of Aunts.  So here is a card that I made for one of them that has a birthday coming up.  I used the pre-colored version of a new image that came out from the Paper Shelter called Josephine which is actually her name and we call her Joie, hehe.  I used a sentiment from TLC, Create which I thought was perfect with the opera glasses.  I added a feather from my stash and some flowers.

Steampunk Happy Birthday

Imagine That Digistamp has a new release today and this is one of the images, Steampunk Sam.  I used the pre-colored version and the the sentiment from the set.  The paper is from the Steampunk 2 paper set.  There is another Steampunk set available tomorrow and if you buy both there is a bundle available which is a great deal that includes the papers. I distressed the edges of my paper.  I also put Glossy Accents on the goggles on the top hat.  I put a metal Tim Holtz clock on the paper, metal brads that look like screws and Tim Holtz metal pieces on the horse. In addition, I added a blue feather behind the rider.
