The challenge at the Moxie Fab Blog is to make some cards in the style of the amazing Anne Taintor. Allison clued me into this amazing Gallery of Graphic Design. I had so much fun looking through all of the vintage advertisements and thinking about how I could use them in card designs. I made three today, but I'm guessing I'll be making more before I'm done.
The first one features an advertisement from Kotex in 1952. Don't you just love the look on her face?
The next one is a 1934 ad by Community Plate from Good Housekeeping.
The final one features a Simmons Beauty Rest ad from Life Magazine in 1950.
I decided to use the size of the pictures to determine my card size and keep them simple with frames to bring out the colors in the images. Very fun.
I downloaded the middle image myself! Ha! Loving these Stef! I may have to make another today!
Fabulous cards! Love them!
Oh my these are FANTASTIC!!
