All my pages use real vintage material and in total I made 8 pages of which I'm showing you 4 here, the next 4 will be on a future post. Mary requires only 6 for her swap and I made an extra one for her and also one for me to keep and add to my vintage gluebook when the returns come back. I used postage stamps on almost all the pages as well as inking the edges of every page with a walnut coloured inkpad.
The one above is called Finest Grown.
And here is Liberty Song after the title of the music. I started all pages by cutting watercolour paper to the required size (5 x 7") and gluing down a vintage page of text, without paying much attention to the text. In the end I used that text as the starting point for what came next on the page.
An actual vintage photo became the centrepoint for this page, called Un Grand Garcon (translates as A Wonderful Boy
And the final page for today is called Bliss. There is a vintage postcard as the focal point featuring the Palace of Versailles, and the loving couple comes from a playing card that I orignally bought in Mary's Etsy shop.
