Inspiration!

Join the challenge! The theme is Fruit and Flowers ~ I challenge you to create something featuring or inspired by fruit, flowers, blossoms, gardens... and share it with us here!

My choice of this theme was inspired by the beautiful old Victorian botanical prints that I love, and as usual the Design Team has come up with some wonderfully inspiring work.

Above is digital art by CorinneMarie, featuring vintage grapes and related ephemera.
Below is another piece by CorinneMarie, this one a darling altered matchbox! She has incorporated the botanical prints in shade of pink and red with some charming ladies in red, a vintage pink background, and accents in red as well.

I know this will get your creative juices flowing and inspire you to join in!

The Fruit & Flowers challenge continues until next Thursday, March 19, 

so you have plenty of time to link up. Get the details and see more inspiration!

Oh, and you can shop for some images at Lunagirl:

Craft Challenge Theme: Fruit and Flowers

New challenge theme: Inspired by beautiful antique botanical prints, my next theme is
FRUIT & FLOWERS

Let dreams of gardens and orchards, bouquets and blossoms and colorful sweet fruit inspire you... any craft medium is OK, from cards and paper crafts to fabric arts and jewelry to assemblage and mixed media and of course digital art too!

Your entry just needs to feature fruit and/or flowers in some way. The Design Team will be working with some of the Victorian botanical prints and other vintage ephemera from Lunagirl... we love vintage but your entry can be any style, just so it's fruit and flowers themed!

Any craft or medium is OK.

Vintage style is encouraged but not required.

Use a Lunagirl image or element and your entry will count twice in the drawing!

Remember to link to this blog and to Lunagirl.com on your site if you have one.

Prize:  Winner will be selected randomly to receive a $15 credit at Lunagirl.com!

Challenge ends at noon CST on Thursday, March 19.

I love it when you use Lunagirl images, and I hope you'll go take a look at my collections... but that's not a requirement!  But do remember that if you use a Lunagirl image, you will be entered TWICE in the drawing! I welcome everyone and every style but also want to give a little something extra to my wonderful customers! Most important is have fun, get creative, enjoy vintage. 

DON'T MISS THE INSPIRATION FROM THE DESIGN TEAM BELOW!
There will be more from the DT later during this challenge, and you'll want to check back to see all the entries as well. We hope you'll share yours!

3D Flower by VICKI ROMAINE  The Cheerful Stamppad

"The Lunagirl image was printed three times the exact same size and cut apart and then put back into layers with dimensionals to give it a 3D appearance. 
The 3D effect really doesn't show up on the scanning."
I can see the 3D effect ~ it is stunning.

Paris Botanical Tags Set: Ephemera, Flowers & Fruit

Still working on Paris Botanical tags today... I made another sheet with yellow flowers and golden fruit. Very pretty! While I was at it I realized I should make a sheet of matching tags that are mostly blank and have a place to write -- to use as backs or just to complete the set. So here is the whole set so far... expect more tags in different themes because I'm having fun with these!

NEW Paris Botanical Tags Printable

More new tags!

These are created with pages from a beautiful old French horticulture journal and pretty antique botanical prints of cherries, strawberries, little red flowers and pink lilies. They have a lovely aged sepia color, from the antique paper, and charming French text.

I call this sheet Paris Botanical Tags: Pink & Red Florals. I plan more sheets in this style in other colors (yellow/gold, blue/purple) and other fruit like grapes, apples, pears... I love working with these images.

This first one is available now at Lunagirl.

Autumn Printable Prints

Can you believe it's October?  It is hard for me to fathom.  It seems like Summer was just here; where did she go?  Here are some beautiful illustrations appropriate for October, for you to use in your projects:
Lovely, detailed art of fall apples from a Victorian botanical print,
and this charming little barn owl, also from an antique nature print.

Free, for Inspiration, a new tag

I've started playing around with my French botanical prints and "Revue Horticole" pages and other old ephemera, and thought I would share one of the tags I created yesterday.  I just love these colors.

This would be perfect to incorporate into a project for the Seed Packs Vintage Garden blog challenge (hint, nudge, wink).

You are welcome to use this for personal non-commercial use.  I do ask that if you publish something using it on a blog website magazine etc., that you please credit and link Lunagirl Images.

Thanks!

These are digitized and ready to print, and they in a larger size and high resolution to create large prints! So artists and crafters can resize these lovely flower and plant images to smaller sizes for craft projects and card making, but you can also create gorgeous larger botanical prints ready to frame for your home, office, etc!
