easter chick in blues and yellows

still the same recycled cardboard box (white flowers on turquoise)

I used this this chick for tag design

easter '19

recycled bag for birthday gift

vintage illustration of hand found online

anna's retirement card

for an avid traveller

boarding pass inside reads:

date - often

boarding time - not too early

destination - where the day takes you

seat - sure thing a window one

and so on...:)

all the ribbons/fabric scraps hair sprayed and ironed

since my prima hydrangeas were faded

I colored them with a regular pink highlighter

april '19

ewa's retirement card

I was asked to make a card like this
which was given in a sewn parchment paper envelope
closed with small clothespin I embellished with pattern paper
the pink tag reads "good luck"

since the text inside was quite long the card itself had to be pretty large too

(about half a letter size)

jeans fabric + vintage dotted scrapbooking paper + papertrey ink die (dots)

I also "opened" the cage in PS and added a bird atop

feel free to use this illustration if you wish

(click to get it large)

summer '19

bell & santa card

I printed on scrapbooking paper

and this is (again) the santa I made from a vintage illustration

of Robert Browning, the poet :)

xmas '17

snowflake for an owl... host :)

this is another trial-and-error version of my "owl snowflake"

we gave it to another friend who is often visited by a real owl 

(his cabin's chimney deep in the forrest to be exact)

xmas '17

snowflake for an owl fan

I designed this snowflake for our friend who collects everything owl related :)

owl from here

previous card for him here

xmas '17

place cards with angels

xmas place cards from the past :)

the same angel as yesterday

and this is my original drawing

(as you can guess from the eyebrows below I actually selected

a couple of vintage-illustration face features to draw angels):

and here is a cool blog with cool vintage illustrations

3 simple xmas cards

a lot of recycling: pink sticky note pad cards, turquoise leftover paper 

(I laser cut another project of it), red flyers and green magazine pages

the tree was made by me with AI although it's not my original idea

xmas '16

boo! boo!

halloween card + chocolate bar wrapper for my best friend (made some long time ago...)

ruffle frame from polyester lining fabric

I found this girl silhouette on a vintage card, traced it using AI and made over a bit

dotted pattern by me, printed on recycled envelope

another logo for my mother

as the round stamp I blogged about yesterday was pretty large

I was asked to make one more

more suitable for cards and other tiny pieces

(5/8″)

another santa card

the yesterday guy once again

the tag is styled as a daily tear-off calendar card

(christmas eve)

very merry christmas

first off, this is how you make the tree

I designed the "greenery" & the santa as well :)

using AI, this red hat has been added to a vintage illustration of robert browning, the poet

horseman's bookplate design
