This third and final Victorian Note Card is my favorite. The deep purples and blues of the pansies and the dove are wonderful together.

Free Antique Clip Art: Color Illustration from Antique 1883 Almanack
I bought a tiny 1883 almanack, measuring 3" x 4", years ago full of adorable illustrations by Kate Greenaway, but I haven't seen it in a while. I was cleaning up the back bedroom the other day and rediscovered this little treasure. I have a habit of misplacing things, but I've thankfully found where I previously hid this book. This is a pretty illustration of the Old Year.

Free Flower Clip Art: Image of Honeysuckle Flowers from Antique Seed Catalog
Here's another beauty from one of my antique seed catalogs of Honeysuckles! Now, I love my antique seed catalogs, but I do have one issue with them; the illustrations run right up to the edges of the pages, sometimes getting cut off. Therefore, I have to cut off some of the image when I clean them up on my computer! Thankfully, the images are still worth sharing :-)
Free Background: Antique Decorative Paper Background
This is one of my favorite backgrounds. I found this antique decorative paper inside the cover of an antique bible. I'm currently using this as a background for the .png images I sell on Etsy, showing off what the images look like on a background.
Free Collage Sheet: ATC Backgrounds of Antique, Victorian Wallpaper
Do you love creating ATC's? I do. A friend of mine got me into them, and she's a real artist. They're little works of art and lots of fun to decorate.
So, here's a real treat for you! I've created a collage sheet of ATC backgrounds using antique, Victorian wallpaper samples. Each of the 6 images prints at 2.5 x 3.5 inches. I hope you have lots of fun using these. I recently bought a HUGE antique wallpaper book, and I'm in the process of scanning the pages. Phew! But, it's great fun :-)
I also came across a wonderful blog, Shadowhouse Creations, and what a find! Have you discovered it yet? If not, go check it out. The blog's author, Jerry Jones, is a talented graphic artist, as well as very generous with his free textures. I love them! I used several of his textures in creating this collage sheet.
