Virtue is the beauty of the soul

"In the quiet garden of the mind, virtue blooms like ivy on ancient stone, whispering the eternal beauty of a timeless soul"

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!

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

Valentine collage postage stamps & altered film strips

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing some lovely Valentine collage art postage stamps and collage art altered film strips that I have created using these sweet images from mean kitty.

I have used an array of vintage background papers, wax seals and mixed media art stamps to create my vintage film strips and postage stamps.

 

For my film strips, I have used the same technique as my postage stamps, creating both a vintage and mixed media combination. I love creating collage art, as it's such a fun way of experimenting with your creative ideas!

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own Valentine collage  postage stamps & film strips!

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!

Colour pop! A vintage twist.

 

Hi lovelies, hope you are keeping well! Tonight I am sharing some vintage cards with a twist! I wanted to challenge myself to create something  very different to what I usually design! These cards have a vivid colour pop, but still keep within a vintage theme. 

As I was entering my last creation into a craft challenge, I happened to click on another ladies entry as I really loved the images that she had used. It took me to studio digital scrapbooking where I found some wonderful products! 

I immediately fell down the 'rabbit hole' and just had to have these lil' dreamers images, which are absolutely beautiful! 

Here I have created three cards using the beautiful papers from the co-ordinating lil' dreamers set

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