Mother Card 6 x 6 Sewn - Vintage & Shabby Chic

It measures 6 inches by 6 inches. It's completely been hand aged, distressed and has a vintage doily. It has a shabby vintage feel to it. 

On the cover, I have handdrawn and then watercolored a girl. I have also used chalk and a little pencil. She is muted as far as color to go along with the vintage look. There's also a vintage lace doily underneath her, which is sewn. Then there is also the backing, which is sewn for detail. I have also curled the edges & hand aged them. There's leaves, sequins and pearls too. On the bottom right is a mother's quote that reads A Mother is she who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take. There's also a silver little bird charm below it. It reminded me of Mother's because that's where we begin. Our nest. Our home.

Spring Layout with Tear Bear and Bunny

Well, I meant to get this layout up yesterday, but the kids had me running around and I was just so busy. Well, here it is..... And here are the details.... 


The FIRST PAGE has two photo mats. These mats are appropriate for a 4 x 6 photo. Some trimming may be needed, but not much (if any). At the top of the first photo mat is a orange satin ribbon with a hand dyed tag (af, lf) that reads "Smile." The second photo mat has flowers & a pinwheel. Below the two photo mats is a cute white picked fence which is lifted off the page and the little bear. He is created out of Mulberry paper which makes him fuzzy! There is a handstamped tag & also a chipboard tag. The little flowers have 3d pearl centers in a spring fun light yellow. 

The SECOND PAGE also has two photo mounts (also the same size) and it also has the white picket fence lifted off the page. Then there's the little bunny! He is holding a carrot in one hand and an egg in the other. There's a stamped embellishment that reads "wishing you a sweet easter" on hand dyed paper (af, lf). Then there's also a hand made and paper pieced little basket in the corner of the photo mount. Behind the second photo mat is a pull out tag and it's decorated on each side. On the one side (as seen in photo) it says "Spring." 
There's also an embellishment on the first photo mount that reads "Wonderful." 

On the picket fence, there is twine running between them to give it a real 3 dimensional look. 






I hope everyone is having a wonderful monday! I still have all week to scrap and create and get my items up and ready for purchase by the weekend for esty.
