The Three Muses "Vintage"

The theme at the three Ms is "Vintage" this week. Well more than half of what I make would probably fit this theme...
Anyway, decided to make a couple of ATCs, I had this idea of making twelve ATCs one for each month of the year and make them into a book. Not sure whether i'll really do it or not, but here are two "vintage" ones anyway.
Images are from Lisa's altered arts collage sheets. Back grounds are my own, crackles were done with Rangers Chrackle Accents then rubbed with acrylic paints and wiped off quickly. The rest is painted stamped etc.

    About your ATC's.
    What a clever idea to make them for a book. Please continue. These two are already "print-worthy"!!

    Hi Astrid - I'm running late with my comments this week with family ties taking up all my time but I would like to say that I have scrolled through your blog which is - wait for it - you guessed it - EXQUISITE!! You should take out that word as your trademark!! So many treasures, especially your scrumptious journal pages and your elegant calendar.
    I love your ATC's and the images you have used - especially the hats!! Very elegant.
