Anyone who knows me... understands my passion for olde relics of days gone by. Warmth radiates from time worn pieces someone might have used daily out of necessity.
A favorite pass time of mine is to spend a rainy day wandering through an antique shop... reminders of my childhood or reminiscing of past generations ingenious inventions for ease of daily work. I'm a bit overdue on a day of wandering and reminiscing! Truly need to set a day aside soon. {smile}
Vintage postcards were considered beautiful works of the heart! {wink} Most often embossed with gilded imagery.
Today, Cornish Heritage Farms released "modern" Christian images by artist Aimee Nugent in time for Easter. Aimee's images are a beautiful way of sending words of encouragement, sympathy, baptism or wellness. These images speak of classic elegance that will remain in style for some time to come.
If you'll note the "modern" church image on my card? It doesn't appear so modern with it's distressed, time worn appearance?! My opinion is... CHF has the classiest religious images available to stampers. LOVE them all... {smile}
It's been a rather long day with the on-set of yet another storm threatening us with 12 inches of flurries! Another system on the horizon for tomorrow afternoon into Thursday morning with the possibilities of another 4 to 6 inches! Uncle, uncle, uncle already.... {sigh} Since we're expecting to be snowed in tomorrow... Won't you consider dawning your snowshoes and coming by to share another creation made with Aimee's beautiful images tomorrow? {smile}

You've outdone yourself with this one! This is by far, one of my favorites of your creations! Good Job! :)
Drop dead gorgeous card Anne. Stay warm. Hugs
Just beautiful, Anne. The oval frame really pulls it all together beautifully (and that happens to be the BGer I just succumbed to on my last order so I get to play with it soon!). I love the floral additions to the cross image - beautiful!
Risen Indeed!!!! Love this Anne..
STUNNING!
