| The vividly colored, deeply embossed die-cut images known today as antique scrap were collected by the Victorians in albums (from which the term scrapbook is derived). Today, antique and vintage ephemera is becoming an increasingly popular way for artists, designers, and crafters to enhance their scrapbooks, greeting cards, and other paper projects. The Victorian Scrap Gallery is a nostalgic collection of these charming and beautiful images, based on the scrapbooks of Laura Friese, who completed them when she was 10 years old. This extraordinary collection of 500 full-color prints many of which are appearing for the first time in print comprise an amusing array of popular themes. Crafters will find images of angels, animals, flowers, holidays, romance, religion, landscapes, people, and even odds and ends like cards, crests, and tambourines. All of the images are printed on one side only for easy use. This impressive guide also includes complete instructions for working with the images, along with fascinating photos of finished crafts and decorative accessories. For every crafter who loves nostalgia and vintage collecting, The Victorian Scrap Gallery is a treasure trove of lovely art and never-ending inspiration Paperback book measures 8 1/2 in. x 11 in., 144 pages.
