Happy Sunday, everyone!
Hope we all survived the week.
I had a pretty busy one. Lots to do right now and not enough time to do it.
Even though I do have some nice Artistic Outpost Stamps flapper images, I did not have time to stamp something. So I went digital this week. I have a collection of Vogue and Vanity Fair cover images from that time period, so I chose this February 1, 1925 Vogue cover of a high-brow flapper, illustrated by Georges LePape.
I like the snotty snooty look on her face as she "strikes a pose".
"The rich are different from you and me."
Well, F. Scott, you were not wrong.
But then, 1929 came along
and The Grapes of Wrath was the new song.
😁😎😁
But until then, the Roaring 20's were a colorful time indeed.

My across-the-street neighbor and I went to high school together, so I made this for his 70th birthday. The lavender card base and mats are cut from Bazzill shimmer card stock. The silver star paper is DCWV and the base designer paper is very old Marah Johnson for Creative Imaginations. I also used black card scraps. The Divinity Designs sentiment, Clear Dollar numbers and Inkadinkado skull with wings were all stamped with Versamark and heat-embossed with white powder on the black card. I also used stitched star and triangle dies, as well as torn-edge oval dies.
And the sketch I used.

I stamped the Creative Expressions Harvest stamp with brown Versafine Clair ink on white card, clear heat-embossed and ink-blended with DI's. There's a scrap of Junkitz plaid underneath the SU gold card stock base. The Posh Impressions side sentiment was also stamped on the SU card and cut with an LDRS stitched postage frame die. The Lawn Fawn sentiment was cut with white card. And I added a yellow die cut Avery Elle sun from my stash.

Well, that's it for me.
Back to the temporary grind of non-art life, ugh.
I can't wait to get back to my boring retired life, heehee.
Hope your week goes well.
Seeya next time!

Great Digital Planung- and a wonderful Art Nouveau piece!

Beautiful work, Have a great week.
Wonderful assortment of artwork.
I love that Vogue cover from the 1920's. What a time that must have been. It's very cool art deco looking too which I love. And nice cards too. I really like that Creative Expressions hay image. You made a beautiful sky and it's a great image. I like the sentiment you used too. I hope your boring retired life returns soon, maybe after the 15th-grin. hugs-Erika
Hay there Aimes!! ;) Happy Sunday!! Your roaring 20's postcard is fabulous. I've got some around here somewhere. Love the slimline hay card too. Hoping you have a pain free day.
What a busy bee you are Aimeslle and you have created such a great selection this week. The snotty lady is perfect for the theme and makes me smile. The standout card for me this week though, is the 70th birthday card. I love how you brought all the products together to create a fabulous card that would suit so many ages.
Hope you are well,
Hugs
