I made all of these with images from the internet. The first one, "Retro Christmas" is cut out, and then another one cut to make his mitten dimensional. The holly is punched from cardstock with a weensy holly punch, and the berries are seed beads. Glittery gold gel pen on his belt, and a felt circle for his pompom.
The second is "Vintage Santa". The image was Santa peeking into a window, so I cut out the window panes from one copy, glued that to acetate, and made a shaker card with white glitter inside for snow.
"Vintage Angel" is cut out twice. the background paper is from an art book, and the wings are glittered, the clouds are cut from felt and I put a little glitter on them.
The "Vintage Medicine" background is cut from a 1970's copy of a 1910 Sears Roebuck catalog. I used Mod Podge on it to preserve it, it was a little brittle. The baby is showing how I felt when I had to take that nasty cod liver oil when I was little. Yuck!

Sybil, these are all really terrific; the cod liver one make me LOL! That stuff was horrible, and no amount of mint flavoring could take away the taste.

Great cards, all of them, Sybil. The baby is priceless and I
fully understand the expression. Ooooo, that was our winter
cocktail and I would never give it to my dog today. LOL.
Love my retro Santa. Thank you.
