M is for . . . Nostalgia

Monograms :
These M cards are for two lovely ladies who featured my projects on their blogs in December. Macey Nelepovitz of Olivia Renn and Maryanne Nelson of Scrappy Gifts.

The Wing's Song

Simple Pleasures

Classic Retro :

I started out with the teal acrylic alphas. And played around with the lines created by the outstretched arms of the girl and the windswept branch. I find nothing beats October Afternoon when it comes to re-creating 50s nostalgia.



They probably reflecting my preoccupation with my January London trip. While dreading the cold, I am looking forward to browsing at Marchpanes at Cecil Court. All those collectable children's and illustrated books : full of time-past charm.

Sentiment Inside :

The inside of each card has a New Year greeting

and

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Creative 2011 !!
