Free images woohoo !

I've been going through a bunch of my mom and dads stuff and decided to share a few of the vintage paper things I found :)

These can be used however you wish. If you use them in your art then I would love it if you could send me a link so I can see your finished creation, oh pretty please :D

I've also posted these on Flickr.

Found this many years ago in one of my dads military lockers ( rectangular metal chest ). I think it belonged to one of his friends who had moved to Calgary Alberta Canada

A wonderful humorous anniversary card from my dad to mom. My heart feels a bit heavy when I see these type of vintage cards because my dear mom threw away an entire garbage bag of them several years ago ( a couple years after dads passing ). I managed to salvage some but I'm sure there were plenty more of these rare beauties gone to rot. They sure don't make them like they used too !

Get well card from one of mom and dads friends

Wonderful RENO postcard ! Stamped 1953 on the back !!

The back. And remember...only YOU can prevent forest fires !

Right click on the image and then click 'Save image as'. Or, I think you can click to enlarge. Please let me know if the click to enlarge does not work for you, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, grrrr.

Birth of my business card:

An image of my 'business card'. I thought and thought about it, should it have a minimalistic look, maybe subtly Asian...?? My conclusion: make it to represent my love of colors, whimsy, fantasy and fun. The banner was hand created with various papers and own printing. The crow/raven was copied and slightly altered from an original small art piece, to which I attached a computer altered lantern. I then scanned the collage and finished altering it on the computer. The 'chains' around the words were a wonderful surprise, something I hadn't even been going for. They are computer stamps that, when downsized, gave the look of chains ---which I use a lot of in my art. The stars and swirls represent fantasy and joy ( including the lantern ). Ravens and crows are my fav. birds ( can be quite whimsical and stay mates for life ). I'm quite pleased with how it all came together and look forward to sharing these cards with others.
