VINTAGE POST CARD SWAP ----PART 2

LOVE BIRDS: The vintage post card use here is one with graphics on it. Glued a strip of vintage sheet music then I distressed it with ink. The birds were cut from note cards, punchanella and a flower brad was also used. The heart I cut from some of my hand painted paper then a rhinestone was added. More distressing and its was done. I think they look like a couple love birds separated. What do you think?

CARD SWAP SUNSHINE: The first card is one of the blank vintage post cards, with a copy of a 195o-60s' dress pattern. I have the original and copied it and cut the little girl out. Found the sun in a magazine, a flower brad, stamped a few flowers and added tea died lace at the bottom.The card then was distressed all over.

The vintage post card on the right is one of the Railway Express graphic. I distressed it and glued a vintage music sheet punched out flower over that a couple of flowers I cut from a garden magazine, butterfly cut out and colored with chalk pencils, with rhinestones added. Then mesh ribbon at the bottom.

MORE : The card on the right is another RRE card first distressed, then a doodle flower I did and colored with the chalk pencils again. Put some rhinestones in the middle of flower. Same with the cut out butterfly with rhinestone. the envelope at the bottom is an advertisement for Martha's punches. I cut it out of a magazine. I added a sequin to the flap. The post card on the right distressed all over, a repo of seed packet cut out, butterfly stamped and cut from old atlas, colored with water color crayon, a few flowers were stamped on the back ground also. The three flowers at top are part of a vintage necklace. Also flower brad. I put a rhinestone in the middle of one flower on the seed packet.

ONE MORE: This one is RRE vintage post card distressed all over, cut out sun flowers from garden magazine, a flower brad in the corner with a game piece ( a little fairy princess) hanging from it with a piece of bakers twine.
I really had a great time doing these post cards. I still want to do the give away, with my extra post cards I did. Leave a comment on any of these post about the card swap and that enters you in the give away. I will draw the name on the 31st of March. So far I have one comment. Hmmm

Please join in the give away. Tomorrow I will show the altered vintage post card to give away maybe more will join in.

That's all for now thanks for looking and come back soon

10 SWAP CARDS ! : Here are 10 altered vintage post cards that I made for i Hanna's post card swap. http://www.ihanna.nu/blog/ Go check it out. This was so much fun and I had mine done in two days last weekend. I made more than 10 ! TWO CARDS: For the first card I used the WW2 post card from what was then a POW camp. Camp Reynolds in PA. The name of the "town" back then was Victory PA. Now it is Reynolds Pa. The camp is no longer there of course housing was developed in the early 50's . The post card is one that my dad used from the Railway Express when he worked there at that time. Some have delivery dept. graphics on them and some are blank. I posted pic of these a few posts ago scroll down and take a look.
So now to what I did to the post cards. The first one is a blank card, first clued down piece of old ledger paper , piece of old had wrote recipe, piece of mesh ribbon, part of an old doily, vintage buttons and a May graphic from old almanac from 1942. And distressed it all with Ranger distressing ink pad. And stamped part on top with Just A Note stamp.
The second post card is another blank card I first distressed it, stamped it with a fish stamp, kinda reminds me of Nemo lol. Then added some sea shell cut from a deck of cards, a mermaid from a game, piece of old world atlas with a pic of had made shell girl from the 50's in Florida. Mesh ribbon along the bottom. Stamped with Just A Note stamp on revers side.

TWO MORE: The two above first one is another blank vintage post card I stamped it all over with the Just A Note stamp, distressed it, then added the negative of a couple tags I punched out of and old book. Then added a butterfly i cut out of same old book and colored with chalk pencils and added rhinestones. The flower and pots are cut from a greeting card. I then distressed it all. Stamped Just A Note on reverse..
