I love the 1940’s   I have my grandmothers quilt from that time period, made with the worn out clothes of family members.  I have a ton of fabrics with 1930-1940 fabrics.  I love this time period.  Not sure I would want to be a woman in the work force at that time period!   LOL

Ok Betsy, you are far more talented in making flower stems than I could ever hope to be.

Ok, I will be honest.  I was so excited about this era.  Since I watch Downton Abbey I knew I would dig this era.  Well I LOVE what Heather did.  Did not like mine!

I was going for this elegant silver against dark velvet blue.  Well it just looked horrible.  But it is what it is.   LOL  Enjoy

I was so looking forward to this challenge, being a huge Jane Austen fan, I was dying to jump into this one.

But I stuggled with the antique embossing on vellum.  I could not get an image when I embossed.  I finally decided to use cardstock instead ad it worked great.

I really liked this card….Thanks for the inspiration Nicole!!!!

I skipped over this one orginally, really did not like the card (sorry Lizzie) but once I went out and looked at the Pinterest photos, I thought the mosaics were more subtle and soft.  So this is what I created.

I made the coin by embossing a paper circle several times to get a thick layer and then laid the stamp into the embossing power when it was still hot and melted.   I also made a silver one but stuck with the gold coin.
