Last day - Free Vintage Clip Art Week - Sheet Music

For the last day of my first free vintage clip art week I have chosen this sheet music for "In the Golden Long Ago" taken from a 1909 book. It is perfect for backgrounds in mixed media art.

Free Vintage Clip Art Week - Bathing Beauties

I absolutely love these retro bathing beauties taken from a vintage map. They are ideal for so many projects including postcards, mixed media art and greeting cards.

Free Vintage Clip Art Week - Victorian Woman

To continue with my free vintage clip art week I'm offering this painting of a Victorian woman. Its circular design allows for a variety of uses - I plan on using it for a small trinket box.

Free Clip Art Week - Victorian Children Cameo Graphic

All this week I'm offering free vintage clip art including Victorian graphics. Today I have a cameo shaped boy and girl. Feel free to use it in your projects and post back with links to your creations.

Vintage Greetings for Thanksgiving

I'm currently working on a series of lovely little Thanksgiving greeting cards (amongst a few other other projects I've got going simultaneously, of course). These cards are simple to make and relatively inexpensive. A package of 20 blank natural-colored cards with envelopes costs around $5.00.

Thanks to The Graphics Fairy and images from my own collection, I'm able to create a nice variety of vintage image inspired cards. After downloading and printing out the images from her blog, I used  a paintbrush to apply glue and added coordinating colored glitter to enhance the designs. I'm also experimenting with flocking on some of the designs. I left the inside of the cards blank, but put an extra piece of rough-edged paper behind the note area for some added distinction.

I'll post back with a completed set once I have finished.
