Vintage patterns-digital images and art-art quilts-mixed media
Fun, fun, fun … seeds of love on Life Book 2015 …. this is my page with lights and darks. I loved this lesson with it’s mix of bright and muddy colours. I’ve included a black and white version to show the tones and values. I used ombre tissue in the background and picked up those colours into the painting itself. The tissue also gave me some wonderful surface texture. Great lesson from Tamara LaPorte.
There are 3 png and 2 jpeg documents in the file. Overlay one was made from a hand drawn doodle, two has a golden glitter butterfly. You can take advantage of the glitter if you use it on top of your colour. The third overlay was created with shapes and the fourth was scanned from a piece of fabric. The fifth was made from a tulip in my garden.
These backs were scanned from the blank originals. They are higher resolution at 150ppi but not 300ppi because they are meant to be printed and used on a postcard back rather than in a digital piece. They are 4″ x 6″ so will fit directly on the back of your card, whether it is paper or fabric. I created them for The Art For the Creative Mind yahoo group. Grab all 4 …. two in the natural sepia tones and two in black and white. When I used one I typed the name of the recipient and her address in a script font as well as a message on the left side and then added a vintage Canadian stamp.

These elements were first posted in the first scrapbook kit I created. I have brought them back for the Make an Element challenge at Pixel Scrappers. These were so much fun to make and I still like the way they turned out.
The challenge called for 8 cards …. 3×4 inch and 4×6 inch …. 4 each. Here are mine with the psd files so you can change them up and switch them around. I’ve also included 4 of each size for you to use if you don’t play with Photoshop. Personal use only on these cards.
