A VINTAGE LABEL "LUCKY BOY" TART PLUMS

Just for something different!  This follows along with the  "Farmers Market" post of earlier and I've got a "quilt" background going on another set of ATCs which I will post soon'ish'.  Home themes appear to be running through my mind!   Click on the image and then click and save the larger image for the best resolution.  Tell me what you plan to do with this one.

St. Patrick's Day Vintage Image

This is just one of the image's I found at http://www.karenswhimsy.com/ under her menu "In the Public Domain".  I mentioned this website a few postings ago, it is a great resource, do go and have a look.  I'm working on an 8" x 8" St. Patrick's collage that will include some of the images I found there, I hope to get that up in a few days.  I have my step-mom Toni (Chehalis WA) and my step-sister Jena (Bellingham WA) visiting this weekend - so we are off for some Vancouver Island adventures!

Artist Trading Cards "Wild Irish Rose"

If you are watching my efforts at ATCs you know I am a beginner!  Hopefully each time I tackle a new theme you will see some development.  Are you  learning along with me - do feel free to offer suggestions!  These do actually look better than the picture.  I used a large background stamp which made 4 cards with each stamping, Ultra Thick Utee in Spruce Green, swarovski crystals and my trusty Krylon gold leaf pen.  I thought of using the EK Success corner punch after - so these were reworked a couple of times.  But here's my flash of brilliance (feel free to laugh!), let's combine the image from "Wearing O' the Green" and the background stamp from this one for a new ATC and then one of each will make a series!

Artist Trading Cards "Pot O' Gold" St Patricks Day Shakers

Shake, shake, shake those pots o' gold!  Inspired by a package of St Patricks' Day confetti (golden "pots o' gold" and teeny stars in gold and green).  I confess, make it glitter and you have my attention.  The frame is 1/4".  I used 1/4" double-sided Scor-Tape (dst) around the edges, put in the confetti, adhere cut to fit transparency, dst again and adhere 1/4" pieces of cardstock for the top frame.  Right now I'm edging everything with my Krylon gold leaf pen!  I used a fine line gold paint pen for the faux stitches and to write the title at the bottom left corner.  This image is in the public domain if you are looking for it.

A ST PATRICKS' DAY DOWNLOAD

A change from the typical.  I'm not really sure if this is meant to be an Irish Valentine but I think it just means more versatility!  This is a copy of a postcard from my own stash.  Remember to click on the image and then save the larger image for better resolution.  I will start posting Easter images soon so you have loads of time to use them for projects.
