i'm going to try to join in on the next upcoming challenge on sunday postcard art which is "vintage children". i think. something along those lines anyway. i chose one of my previously "backgrounded" bases. i liked the one with the words Golden Age down along the bottom as it seemed to be a good beginning point for this challenge. i found an old photo of unknown origin featuring a young girl playing with her dollies. i burned the edges of this photo. i also used a napkin with antique silverware printed on it and cut out the spoon. while glueing on the spoon i sort of messed up the bowl of it . . . no worries, though because i wanted to put something in there anyway. after considering some possibilities i decided to print the words mud pie on skinny masking tape and set those words into the spoon. quite happy with the look of that~!!~

before i decided to quit for today i went over the edges of the card and blotted some bits in the center with a rust colored ink pad.

i don't think this one is finished but i want to "let the dust settle" before i decide what more it may or may not need . . .

this is becoming quite fun and the paper art works along a lot faster than my fabric postcards usually do. in some ways i felt like a child making my own mud pies while i was working on this card today~!!~
