Dear Friend,

Welcome to Lost Art Cards and Designs.

You might find tiny bouquets on paper, pretty places, words of encouragement, the artwork of others, or a quote from a good book.

My hope is that you will find something that delights the eye of your heart and remains a part of you for a lifetime.

One facet of the creativity in my soul.

Wee Folk Sweet Baby Card

This " Sweet Baby" card was made using various Parchment Craft and Ink Blending techniques.

I like the soft effect of vellum for a baby card.

To make the base card underneath the vellum card front, I blended 2 shades of
yellow and a very soft pink, both pigment inks.


Paper piercing and trimming using special parchment tools add their own embellishment to this card.

I love the sweetness of this stamp and die set by Papertrey Ink.  One of their anniversary challenges was to take certain letters of our first or last name, each letter representing a different technique or characteristic to add to the card.  "Sweet Baby" was completed using no more than 5 colors, a touch of gold, paper piercing, rounded corners, and yellow ink. 

Background Check Class


Distress Ink and Masking technique taught by Laura Bassen using Ranger's Ink Blending Tool.  

This was the first video in class, and after watching nearly all of the class instruction I was finally able to walk downstairs and get started this weekend.  Water bottle and iPad in hand, had lots of anticipation as I got out all my stuff.
