Altered Postcard Sample #2

Here's another altered postcard sample!  Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Postcard Swap

I'm hosting an altered postcard swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group in April.  It's always a VERY good idea for me to come up with a sample before I post the swap.  So here's a sample that I made.  I used an old postcard that shows a British war memorial.  I decided to keep the memorial theme and added cemetery angels, flowers, music, a clock and a photo of a British serviceman.  Before I started I scanned in the postcard.  No way was I working on the postcard to start with.  Working with the scanned image let me finalize the design before committing to it. I stamped the postcard with coffee archival ink but masked the memorial statue, so that it would not be stamped.
The cemetery angels, flowers, British serviceman photo, clock button, and German scrap are all available at Collage Stuff.
If you'd like to participate in this swap, join the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group.  I'll be posting this swap later on in the week.
Thanks for stopping by!

I Want to Get Away ATCs

The February swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group was an ATC swap with the theme of "I want to get away!"  This is my entry.  The background image is from the Collage Stuff "French Ephemera 2" collage sheet.  The couples image is from the Collage Stuff "French Ephemera 3" collage sheet.  The gargoyle image is from the Collage Stuff "Gargoyles Minis" collage sheet.  The Eiffel tower image is from the Collage Stuff "Vintage Paris" collage sheet.  A red Marlowe's theatre ticket (Collage Stuff) is at the top left.  The Black Leaf Corner German scrap, Black Fleur Border and Paris Clock button are available at Collage Stuff.  The Paris word image is from the Collage Stuff "artwords" collage sheet.  So...where I would like to get away to is to Paris.  I'd love to visit the old cemeteries, churches, monuments and revel in the architecture.  Thanks for stopping by!

More Postcards

Here are two more postcards created with images from the new French Ephemera Collage Sheets from Collage Stuff.  I added elements digitally using my digital imaging software.  These postcards will be shipping with orders in a few weeks. Thanks for stopping by!

New Postcard

This is a new postcard I created using some elements from some of the new French Ephemera Collage Sheets.  I am fond of the insect trading card image.  The background image is a vintage French receipt. The boy is from the Andrew Collage Sheet and the word "fly" is from the Art Words Collage Sheet.  The circle around the boy's head is taken from the Watch Parts Collage Sheet. This postcard will begin shipping with Collage Stuff orders in the next few weeks.  Thanks for stopping by!

March 4x4 page

March is the last month for the 4x4 swap I've been hosting at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group and this is my March page.  It feels good to be done with my part of this swap.  All of the images are from Tumble Fish Studios at the Deviantscrap.com website.  The Victorian scrap flowers, white lace and German scrap border is available at Collage Stuff.  I like to use wide lace or tulle in backgrounds.  I think it adds texture and a feminine flair.  Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Marie Tag

The January swap at the Collage Stuff Yahoo Group is a Valentine Marie Antoinette themed tag swap.  This is one of my tags for the swap.  The Marie image and letter image are from Darvahlous at Etsy.  The red/gold ribbon, Victorian scrap flowers, heart bling brads, and German scrap items including the arrow, gold floral mini heart and gold cupid are all available at Collage Stuff.  The lace and crochet trim are also available at Collage Stuff.  The background is made from two scrapbook papers.  It's been a while since I've had any time for art, so it was fun to create some tags.  Thanks for stopping by!
