The crow

The Crow drinks the secrets the stars let fall,
Answering a deep, unspoken call.
With wings of obsidian, sharp and still,
It bends the fog to its quiet will.

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a vintage Crow Tarot card that I have created.

To make my card, I have used this beautiful Crow Tarot card image from my own stash & dusky flower digital papers that I have created myself. 

I used kraft cardstock as a base. Next I adhered these fabulous halloween decay leaf papers from Cheryl Francis art & I also added a strip of weathered wood paper. I have also added some gold leaf to complete my Tarot card.

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

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den; I really appreciate your visit and lovely comments!

Fading golden woods

 

The final warmth of summer slips away,
Leaving russet gold and long shadows.
The earth grows quiet, drawing inward,
To whisper a slow goodbye.

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a mixed media tag that I have created with an autumn theme.

To create my tag I have used kraft cardstock as a base. Next I adhered these fabulous halloween decay leaf papers from Cheryl Francis art. I have also used these wonderful distressed brown & gold papers from digital curio.

Next I added this beautiful raccoon image; Such a sweet little guy, don't you think?! I have also added some gold leaf to certain places on my tag to give it some more interest.

I adhered a vintage postage stamp including a smaller raccoon image.

To finish I added some word labels which I designed myself.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own autumn mixed media tags!

Where the roots run deep

She waits behind a veil of stone,

where silent, climbing ivy grows.

A secret kept, a grief unknown

that only fading twilight knows.

The keyhole rusts beneath her gaze

the crumbling marble cracks and sighs.

A ghost of long~ forgotten days,

trapped deep behind those hollow eyes.

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a card with a serene theme. I have used this stunning Weathered statue image from Cheryl Francis art. 

I have also used these wonderful vintage heritage & vintage scrapbook papers both from Manu design studio.

Once I had layered all the papers, I then used a crackle grunge texture stamp along with black ink.

 Next I added a vintage lock and some vintage creeping ivy images. To finish my card I created some word labels using some torn strips of burlap paper & added some text.

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