Vintage Halloween cards

Hello lovelies. hope you are well! Today I am sharing some vintage Halloween cards for this months 'Crafting from the Art' challenge. The theme as always is ATG. The DT would love for you to join in with the challenge and they look forward to seeing all your lovely creations! 

Here are my DT cards that I have created.

For both of my cards, I have used these wonderful images from mean kitty's kanvas. I have also used some ripped corrugated card and these lovely black texture papers from artistic way co. To complete my cards I have also used some victorian wax seals, some fabric star embellishments and my own word labels that I have designed myself.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own Halloween cards!

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creations for this month's challenge over at Arty Divas The theme is as always ATG. 

I have created these teeny retro mini Valentine cards, which measure 3inch x 4inch. Super cute! 

Our sponsor is Lilli Rain Designs and there is a fabulous prize for the winner of the challenge! The little retro Valentine collage sheet. 

To create my card, I first started with blank Kraft cardstock which I scored myself. These wonderful papers are from:

Nostalgie Graphikland

My porch prints

Music sheet is from my own stash 

I edged the paper with vintage photo distress ink, then adhered them with double sided tape. Next, I adhered this sweet bingo card and then I adhered this darling retro valentine image from the collage sheet above from Lilli Rain Designs.

I repeated the same technique for this card also. 

Finally, I printed out these words and adhered them on to my card. 

I really hope that I have inspired you to create your own retro cards and I also hope that you will join us over at Arty Divas!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den, see you on the next post!
