A woman's best friend!

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a few vintage artist trading cards that I have created using these lovely photos.

As you probably already know, I am a huge lover of vintage! I really wanted to go back to my 'roots' of creating vintage collage art; I have missed it so!

To create my atc's, I have used these lovely vintage paper strips from my own stash. I then added some vintage postage stamps and applied mixed media stamps along with black ink.

To finish, I then adhered my own word labels and added these fabulous ladies with their loveable fur babies! 

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

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Retro space theme collage

Hello lovelies, hope you are keeping well! Tonight I am sharing something quite different to what I usually create; here is a mixed media retro space theme collage that I have designed.

I have a deep love for astronomy and wanted to incorporate it into one of my designs. A retro space theme came to mind when I found this fabulous image of a woman and collaged television set! 

 

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own mixed media collage layouts! 

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Tim Holtz Artist Trading Card

Hello my lovelies, hope you are well and staying safe? There's so much chaos and uncertainty in the world right now. Everybody is unnerved and a lot of people in the crafting community are showing camaraderie and sending out a positive message to carry on crafting, which I think is a great idea. 

Please though stay indoors if you can and take care of yourselves and your families. 

Arty Divas  is hosting their brand new challenge, which starts today. The theme is ATG and you can create anything you wish, a card, tag, an ATC, mixed media project etc! The Design Team look forward to seeing your lovely creations! 

For my DT creation I have made a friendship ATC. My mojo has been missing lately, so a small project is just what I needed to get back into the swing of things! 

I have created a collage background using various torn pieces of paper and ephemera. Everything has been distressed with Vintage Photo Distress ink. 
Finally, I adhered these wonderful Tim Holtz paper dolls, I just love them! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments! 
Stay safe.

Vintage collage tags/bookmarks

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing some vintage collage tags/bookmarks that I have made. I was inspired by a wonderful artist on Instagram called CB Expressions. 

To create these, I have used some left over paper scraps that I had in my stash. This cute little birdie is from a vintage book published in1975. I have been thrift store shopping recently! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, Hugs Zowie xx
