Just a proof of concept really. It's part of a Red Bull can, embossed using my sizzix big shot and a Tim Holtz texture fade folder then inked up and glazed, then covered in crackle glaze. It's just green because the only alcohol ink I own is 'Lettuce'.

The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

This Gordon Walters inspired koru design embossed in elements of the wedding stationary. The design is meaningful to both the couple and their families, and is a Maori symbol of new beginnings.
Also faux white leatherette stripe and huge lens ribbed for pleasure. This is going to be way better than strapping my kaleidoscope to the front of a disposable...
