A whole month of vintage Valentines
Cottage Life
This is the month for romance or so they say. Happy anniversary coming up to Will and Jodi on Valentine's day. Now that's handy. Easy to remember. I thought I would take advantage of the theme and share some vintage valentines along the way. I am having the time of my life using my new laser printer. The quality is consistent, bright, and fairly inexpensive per page. The original outlay for the ink might make you gasp but it lasts quite a while. I myself am probably responsible for several trees being consumed, but I can't help myself. It's one thing to see something you create on a screen but being able to hold it in your hand or matte it and hang it on the wall is amazing. Besides think of all the "scrap paper" I am making for the grandkids to scribble on.
My piles of "test" prints
I may get carried away and actually send out a card or two. Boy will my family be surprised.
Before and After
Today's before and after features a couple of photoshop brushes that I've made from photos. It's a really simple process and the results can be quite fun. I had taken some photos of the rafters in the "original" cabin. They were painted with scandinavian decorative art and in great shape. Then I got this brilliant idea to replicate the original art.
I didn't stop there. I had an old photo of a victorian era woman...
