Wonderful creative work on both of these special vintage cards. The images are perfect with the great details and designs. It is unusual to see a bride sitting on the arm of the chair but it looks cute anyhow.
I saw these on FB Melissa! They are so cool! I actually really like the wedding pose. Wonderful vintage photos and you did a great job with all your paints, powders and embellies!
wow!! Looks like a lot of time and creative effort went into these fabulous cards. Love all the WONDERFUL techniques. (i've seen the vintage wedding pose before too. I believe my grandparents had a picture like that hanging in their home. Sadly they are gone and so is the photo).
Love all of the details and so glad you wrote them down too! The pose of the vintage wedding couple is unusual as you said - I noticed that immediately and thought the same thing you did. Very inspirational & creative work!
Beautiful cards!! Your work is always so amazingly full of techniques which you always are so generous to share your how to with us. Lots of details always too.
Beautiful cards! That is a cool photo for an anniversary card! That's funny about the pink! Your techniques on the Father's Day card are amazing! Love the canvas texture and colors!
Awesome awesome awesome! All of your media techniques give the cards such an authentic vintage look! Incredible work~ (oh, yes I agree - the pose is unique for that time period:)
These are fabulous Melissa! I love the one on the right and all of the crackle and paint, gesso. Thank you so much for the description of how you made them!
Hi everyone! Melissa here with two cards using Gina's Designs Lasercuts. I painted the chipboard on the pink card with gesso, followed by a combination of watercolors and twinkling H20s. I then stamped with chalk ink using a leaf stamp. I topped it with Dimensional Glaze. I painted the gear chipboard on the brown card with gold and silver lumieres on top of dried gesso.To add more definition I took a very small brush and painted the edges with black acrylic paint . I topped everything with perfect pearls, and then a thick layer of crackle. To make the cracks show I used brown chalk. On the wooden charm I used gesso, then painted with gold deco pen. Underneath the chipboard is canvas. I painted it with gold lumieres. While it was wet I sprinkled on some gold embossing powder and heated everything. I put on some verdigris embossing powder, heated it , then dry brushed the powder with some more gold paint. I used some halo pink-gold lumieres around the edges. I poured some crackle on in a few areas,and put black chalk on when dry. There are a few iridescent sequins from Abbygirl on the right side of the pink card. I got the hot air balloon at the upper right of the gold card at HL. I made the gold card for my husband, and wanted to make the pink one for him too, but didnt realize pink wouldnt look right until it was too late. I thought the wedding photo on the left was kind of a different pose , what do you think?
