Good day, everyone!
I'd like to showcase Amarillo Rose today.  This collection was inspired by the late-nineteenth-century petite feminine floral motifs.  When I designed this junk journal kit, I wanted it to be eclectic while also having a defined color theme.  The lovely yellow, blue, green, and pink colors came from the cottage chic prairie textiles of the time.  To top off this kit I added dainty little birds, eggs, and butterflies. 

 

The Amarillo Rose collection includes many different sets, but today I'm going to show you just a few.

From the time I began selling digital art in 2008 there have been steady requests for physical printed copies of each piece of art.  I didn't want to offer just any kind of prints, and wanted to make sure what was offered would be of the best quality and now I truly believe that time has come.

Alice in Wonderland Junk Journal Kit

Good day, everyone!
Today, I'd like to highlight Shabby Alice, the newest junk journal kit and coordinating ephemera.  I'd been asked for an Alice in Wonderland kit several times, but I kept putting it off because there are so many lovely Alice kits out there, and I just wanted the kit I presented to be a little less traditional.  This pastel and shabby chic kit includes iconic illustrations by John Tenniel, as well as pretty flowers and whimsical patterns.  So, if you like shabby chic and pastels, this junk journal kit is for you!   

Shabby Alice Junk Journal Kit & Ephemera

Download the matching Shabby Alice pattern pages here.

Let's take a look at my personal favorite item in this entire collection, the Playing Cards.
I actually made these cards before I started working on the main kit.
A deck of cards in an Alice in Wonderland collection seemed natural.
Before deciding on this design, there were three others considered.
This design seems to fit perfectly.

 

 

✂️What's Included in the Alice in Wonderland Playing Card Ephemera:
9 Digital Paper in ZIP format.
Total of 68 playing cards, full set of each suit plus 1 extra design for each face card.
1 full page to be printed on the back of each sheet.

Labels are a mix of sizes
All Page Print at 8.5x11 inches.

Snatch up these Alice in Wonderland quotes here.

Lastly lets show the Shabby Alice Drink Me Bottles.  These unusual little bottles have captured Alice, Mad Hatter & White Rabbit! 

 

 

✂️What's Included in the Drink Me Bottle ephemera:
2 Digital Paper in JPG format.
12 Drink Me Bottle with Alice, Mad Hatter, and White Rabbit. 4 Designs in 3 different sizes.

This tiny Easter egg was caught by a few of you, but in case you didn't, here it is.  On May 21st, International Tea Day, I did release this kit.
