Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My heart is thrilled to share this antique postcard 'Easter Greetings' that I found in my local antique/resale shop. I paid 80 cents! YES! Believe me, I walked out of there with 12 others! I've already gifted 4 to my nieces!
I need to get back in there. The owner says he's got a couple of more boxes filled with postcards for me to sift through!!! YES!
My Time To Craft's #501 theme is vintage or shabby chic. This topic was presented by DT member Meena! Competition days are February 10-23, 2023.
Thinking of You Easter Greetings display card=
Theme requirements: vintage--on the back side of the postcard, the postmark shows 1909!!! Wow!!!
and for shabby chic elements I did a mix of prints, have the floral garland type washi tape, mostly soft hues except for the darker blues, light pink tulle/netting (2 layers barely showing on the bottom half under the plaid and postcard but is over the top of the polka dotted ribbon tape)
a. the floral garland washi tape = Lili and Val
b. yellow checked gingham paper = Hot Off The Press/Paper Wishes website
c. navy blue and white buffalo plaid cardstock = The Paper Studio/Hobby Lobby store
d. antique postcard = Donn's Antiques and More
e. rest are stash supplies
