Saturday Image Bonus 60

I have chosen 5 different girl trade cards for this week. All of them have sweet angelic faces. I believe all of these cards are from the late 1800's. They advertise shoes, sewing patterns and clothiers. A few of these were very damaged and I have tried to digitally repair them. I hope you enjoy.

Lily Card

Here is a card I made with the Lily stamp from the In the Garden set. The dot background was made with a Cuttlebug Embossing folder Swiss Dot and the edge detail was made with the Martha Stewart border punch Gothic Arch. The greeting plate is by JoAnn's.

I love this cute stamp of Georgy Porgey. I stamped this with Memento ink and colored it with Copic markers. The background was made with a cuttlebug embossing folder.
