A Renaissance Man (Take Ten Winter Issue)

Hello Everyone
Last month I shared cards that were published in the December issue of Take Ten, in that same issue I had another Feature style article, what they titled Antiqued Cards in 10. Can you believe I’ve had this post drafted since January!  I have re-drafted it as I wanted to add a Thank You for the lovely comments on the birthday cards/gifts I received and all your lovely wishes in general.
Last year when I was making cards for friends using what was then a recent purchase of da Vinci stamps (Stampington & co) I enjoyed making them so much that I continued to make more to submit to Take Ten’s Feeling Themeless category.  I was over the moon to see the cards as a feature and they wrote a wonderful intro outlining how I save time by preparing the watercolour paper in advance.
The Natural WorldClassical BeautyThe Dragonfly Aside from the watercolour paper and tissue paper which were prepared in advance (I always do batches of things like this to have to hand) each of these cards were all made within ten minutes.
Thank you for taking the time to visit this post and hope to catch-up with you soon.
Wishes
Lynne

    These are stunning! I love the contrast of the pink and brown. I remember that article too, and thinking “That’s my pal, Lynne!”

    All cards are so gorgeous Lynne, they really have that great feel of times past. You’ve made DaVinci proud, I can only imagine his scribblings would have looked similar to your fine text stamp… Ira x

    Lovely cards and you’re so organised. I never seem to have the time to do things in batches even though it saves time in the long run!!
