Tim Holtz Vintage

Good morning everyone! I,m trying to post these Easter cards before it gets here! Not much longer before Peter Cottontail comes hopping! This card was inspired by  the Tim Holtz seasonal paper pack which I purchased a while ago online for $14.99( Michael's has it on clearance for $4.99!, made me sick!). The pack has some beautiful vintage images such as Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc. The wreath is a sizzix die and the tiny picture of a rabbit pushing a cart with eggs and a chick came from the paper pack as did  the extremely small sentiment at the bottom( don't know if you can see it). My picture taking skills are not that great,LOL. Anyway, added some pops, some pearls, a Crinkle ribbon, and sprayed it with simmer. Thanks for looking!

Vintage Easter

Hi everyone! A couple of months ago, my mother gave me a stack of old postcards that belonged to my Grandmother, to look at, and read,  and make copies of them if I wanted. These were some of the most interesting and beautiful postcards that I had seen, and alot of them had Easter themes. I copied this postcard, which dated to the 1920's and came up with this card. The metal "egg" shape I purchased from M's, and the doily is the last one that my friend Joy gave me a few months ago. I added some rock candy Stickles to the chicks and the sentiment, then glittered over that with some MS fine clear glitter, and attached the picture to the back of the 'Egg". Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed making!
