Oh this one's a goodie yall!! I have LONG had an obsession with anything OLD and Vintage as you know. I feel like I am just now starting to express this REALLY yummy side of me in my creations. I decided what better place to begin than with a HUGE versatile pack of Ephemera (paper items such as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles) that you will use OVER and OVER again. The "Ultimate Art Collection" is packed COMPLETELY FULL of things such as background papers, handwritten letters, postcards, a layered book, layered papers, receipts, tickets, vintage brooches and gorgeous jewelry from the 15th century, lots of frames, tags, lace, an album page, cards, collage sheets, grungy letters, stamps and SERIOUSLY SO MUCH MORE!! It's REALLY a HUGE collection that totals almost 200mb.
The previews do this thing hardly ANY justice. Mainly because there is SO MUCH in here that I found it extremely challenging to preview it all, lol. There was A LOT of time and thought that went into this collection. The background papers are all different pieces of art themselves. With all being very versatile the busier patterns are great to add texture to the pieces included and the solids are stamped with just the right things that are almost hidden until you go to blend them. There are many vintage frames that make a page gorgeous just themselves. Of course I included some of the popular vintage brooches and charms from the 1500's that always add JUST the right touch. But MOSTLY this is a HUGE supply of Ephemera. You will notice I carefully gathered just the right textures, sizes, colors, tears, rips, wrinkles, folds, stains, etc. This was done with many things in mind such as blending, making your own brushes to use on your personal artwork, layering or just simply using the pieces alone. Whatever you decide to use this for I think you will find yourself wondering how you have lived without it up until now, lol. It is TRULY a MASSIVE collection that is just INCREDIBLY inspiring and versatile!
Thank you to everyone who lent me some of the Ephemera for this project! :)
