Flash Cards


I bought these flash cards for .50 cents when out thrifting a few weeks ago~~using light brown ticking as the background;  using a decorative stamp design to one corner and glued them onto the fabric~~


Makes a sweet backdrop for other vintage items on a bookshelf~~I succeeded in getting several projects done for the booth at the antique mall~~


I thought about painting the frame, but actually liked the darker effect around the fabric background and the cards~~

Tomorrow posting candlestick and cheese dome projects~~I think they turned out pretty darn cute~~

See you here at these fabulous parties:

    What a wonderfully creative idea. I have vintage flashcards from my teaching days that I might try this with.

    I really like how your framed flashcards turned out! Some people just have a talent for turning anything into a piece of art.

    What a cute thing to do with flash cards! I just saw you featured at Polohouse from last month's party. I got a peek at your wonderful transferware. I have a bowl from the birds and vines pattern. My all time fav. I'd love to find more! You?
