Gothic Arches - Vintage Children

Our challenge with Gothic Arches this week is to use Vintage Children. Here is an ATC I made from an advertising postcard I received in the mail. I get a lot of my clip art from Graphics Fairy and from Dover Publications. I'm not sure where this child came from but I love the image. Some of the flourishes are from a Purple Onion Designs stamp and some of them are hand-drawn.

    I love that you see the potential in mail that most would throw in the garbage. There is such a glow to this piece and the image of the child is lovely.

    Beautiful, Faye, the colours are stunning! I, too, collect 'junk mail' that I save for (I hope!) for future use! You've been very busy since my last visit and I see another technique to try, waxed paper.

    Your background is so pretty. It almost looks like there is a spotlight back there! Super use of junk mail!
