Back before Christmas I joined a Vintage Christmas swap over on splitcoast. I do not mind mass-producing cards but a few years ago, my MIL put a pad of ATC images in my stocking that were all vintage images. I knew they would be perfect for this swap so I pulled them out. I added stickles to every image and then trimmed them and distressed them. Most of them had their base run through a cuttlebug folder for texture and I tried to use bits of lace and buttons or pearls on each one too. Once I was finished with them, they sat on my shelf for a day so I could admire them. I really loved each one and it was hard to pack them up and send them off. I hope that those who received them have enjoyed them as much as I did!

i really love those cards. i would have kept them and admire them too. i really do enjoy seeing what you do with some of the stuff you get from me. it is so much more fun to look at in the finished stage.
OM goodness Cassie these ATC are just stunning. Love them. :)

WOWZER!! These are so gorgeous!! Love the sparkle vintage look!!
Although we have differences in culture, but do not want is that this view is the same and I like that!
Wow, these are amazing!! I can see why it was hard to give them up. I love the vintage collage look!!

These are lovely! I can see why you had trouble sending them away.
I have a bunch of Victorian label reproductions that I'm working with right now. Your ATCs are inspiring!
