It's been raining like crazy here in California today! We've got a bit of a break right now, but there's more coming!
This will be a very quick post tonight--trying to make up for all my long ones lately! I finished a couple of pretty postcards from Crafty Secrets' Vintage Postcard Kits...here's the first one...
This sweet springtime image is from their "Family" Vintage Postcard Kit--so many lovely images in this set! They are so quick and easy to do--can do as little or as much as you'd like--they always turn out beautifully! Here I just added some silver shavings glitter, some topaz crystal rhinestones, Dazzling Diamonds on the nest, an acrylic amber bead, and some brown & cream gingham ribbon--all done!
And then we have...
...an adorable baby girl image--complete with poem--so sweet! Again, some silver glitter, Dazzling Diamonds, some deep rose rhinestone crystals, and red pompom trim...tie a ribbon on top for hanging, and you're done! The natural light wasn't very good today---sure shows in my photos--oh, well!
That's it for me tonight--told you it would be quick! I'll be back tomorrow night with something new...see you then!
These are so precious! I especially love the Mama and baby birds!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some sunshine tomorrow :)
We love your postcards! Very Spring-y. The glitter adds the perfect little touch.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind words in my blog! And thank you so very, very much for sharing your family story! I must admit that I cryed a bit too when reading. I have a big family myself and like you we are coming together once a year. Warm hugs from cold Norway

These are so pretty. Especially love that first little one to hang at home. Hope the rain has ceased. Fortunately, we have had beautiful weather the past two days. The dust has cleared for now. :) Blessings, Tammy
