25 Days Of Free Vintage Christmas Day

I have posted something special

 for you to create and use as  

Calling Cards, Christmas Cards,

 Party Invitations, and Christmas Tree Tags!

LOVELY   VICTORIAN  CARDS

I scanned these images but I  didn't want to

 disturb the lovely Sepia color of these cards. 

 Sepia always gives any image the

 authenticity of an actual antique object!

Sugarplum

These are my absolute favorite!

I played with the midtones, color contrast,

 saturation. and highlights, to give these
 images a different look while keeping
 the antique appearance of the cards intact!

I chose a pale, pink color

which I combined with a

 darker burgundy and blue/violet

to highlight around the frame.

I love how the highlights

really set off the colors

and accentuates the
 lovely flourishes on the card!

They look, as if any minute,

they will be sent out

as invitations to a

Glamorous Christmas Ball

or to attend a spectacular night

 at the Theatre to see

"The Nutcracker"!

These beautiful cards remind me

 of the Frosty Sugarplum Faeries

as they  danced in the air!!

Green and Gold

These images were tinted in a lighter green color

 with a small amount of gold for highlights.

They're a bit too bright for my taste!

If you would like to use them, I can give you

a few tips to help you change the tone and color!

***TIPS***

After you download them, check out the

 photo editor on your compuer PC or you can 

 use Picasa, Paint.net, or PhotoScape to

 lighten or darken the color.

You just click on FIX  and the Basic Effects will

appear on the screen. From there, you can play to

 your heart's content!   You can even adjust

the colors back to Sepia if the Editor has that

 listed as one of the options!

Have fun playing with these

 wonderful antique Christmas Images!
