Cards With pictures REcycled from vintage books

Thanks for your support!

Use pictures recycled from a vintage book to be the centrepiece of your cards.

Full instructions for the birthday card above 

Ideas

• Vintage books with thick paper are especially good for a torn edge effect.
• Use paper from the same book to create perfectly colour-matched  embellishments. Examples below include the flower embellishments in "Girl with cat" and the flower stems and punched letters in "Boy with Horse"  
  
• Let the picture remain the main feature of the card. Adding too many embellishments or colours will diminish the picture.
  
• Kids books often have lovely illustrations.
