Paper Tales






These are some cards I made for the Crafty Vintage Market. I used to make a lot of cards like these but haven't made any for ages. I'd forgotton how much I enjoy putting them together, using the ephemera I've collected over the years, old letters, maps, music and book pages. Then choosing just the right buttons, beads and fabric scraps to complete them, and tell a little story.
