Its almost like they know

"It's almost like they know", that's what I think when I look at vintage images. Know what you ask? Well the secret of life. LOL.  What was their lives really like  was it filled with  love, loss, hope, friendship, family, work, adventure or creativity.  My paper arts are essentially  a way of telling their story. So for 100 Proof Press  design team I used their wonderful vintage  folding camera stamp to "capture" these two gentlemen and their story on an ATC.

To begin, the background is Retro Cafe Art's Debrina Pratt ATC  script background that was inked up.Some copper ink kissed black German scarp edges were layered next. The two gentle men are RCA fussy cut from the Edwardians collage sheet. The clock is from a transparent RCA sheet Steampunk Parts too .The corners are painted buttons, the folding camera stamp image fussy cut and colored and a metal tag. This tag that has been aged, the sentiment added, a black velvet ribbon and some wire added to it. Some copper Liquid Pearls for dimension and that completed this little ATC, so our gentlemen could continue looking into our future.

Hope you will discover a great story this week.
take care, gerri

    Vintage Goodness! I really think that transparent clock face ties it all together perfectly. Here's hoping you're alligator free this week. ;-)
