Vintage

I love anything vintage. They bring up some nostalgic feelings and memories of those days, when as a little girl I would go through my gradmas forgotten drawers and boxes in the attic and find many wonders. I especially liked a stash of greeting cards my grandma kept through her life.
Today I try to recreate the style of those cards. It is not easy to make a brand new card look old, yellowed and a little tired. Here are my attempts.

Lovey Dovey

Sometimes less really is more. This card is a perfect example.
 I love those silver doves and I didn't want them to get lost amongst other embellishments. So I kept it simple and made the doves main focus (apart from the names of bride and groom of course - to be inserted instead of "bride" and "groom"). White feathers are also so cute and keep within the theme.
I'm sure this simple, yet elegant card would will make a nice keepsake for a special Mr and Mrs!

Special Birthday

What's better way to start a blog, than a special occasion. It's my sister's birthday today! I made a special effort making this card. She loves pink and sparkles, so I picked up some paper, glitter and rhinestones and let my imagination run wild! The result - bright, sparkly and delicate, just like the birthday girl herself ( btw her name is pronounced Asha).
It's what I call a wallet card. It does not open like e usual card, instead there is a slot at the top where a card for writing a message is placed. There's also a tag, so the card slides out easily. I find the front of cards I make gets a bit heavy with all the decorations, so I came up with more practical and quite unique solution (if I say so myself).
