Post Cards From France
In: decorations. celestina marie, door decor, postcards from France 12:51:00 AM By: Celestina Marie
My red door is home to an antique style urn which I change out for the season filling it with greens, flowers and more.
Recently, I saw an idea to add letters, but I thought it through and loved the postcards from France look better.
Using postcard graphics from The Graphics Fairy, the design began.
I cut 1/4" wood the size of the over sized postcards that I printed on card stock.
Next I painted the wood a natural color to go with the postcards vintage patina.
Next I glued the cards to the cut wood using modpodge and also a coat of modpodge over the card to seal in place. Remember these are going to be used outside.
I also glued on wood stacks to the backs using wood glue, let dry and then ready to add to the urn.
Thank you for stopping by, please come in for some tea and sconces.
Happy Creating and Decorating,
Celestina Marie

This is very pretty and a great idea. :)
Celestina, your creative mind amazes me. This idea is amazing, what a wonderful touch for your outdoor decorations.
I love it, Celeste! The finished piece looks gorgeous on your front door. Love the postcards! I found {without looking for it} that they make an Outdoor Mod Podge. I have no real use for it myself, but I thought it was pretty neat.
Oooh, la, la, Celestina! Your French postcards are tres magnifique! They are the perfect addition to your Christmasy urn, and you'll be able to enjoy them year round, too! Have a great day:)
How beautiful is this! Those post cards are an inspiration!
Love your blog, too. I'm your newest follower. . .Looking forward to visiting often.
Christmas Blessings,

I love your red door, Celestina, and the post cards are a great idea. I have always loved post cards, and I still have a few that I've saved. Your door looks so festive and ready for Christmas. We got our tree over the weekend, and it's always fun to decorate it. I know I've told you this, but your new blog design is so pretty. Enjoy the season, my friend.

Your door is absolutely gorgeous and the postcards give it just the right touch! Happy holidays my friend! I have my sweet Christmas balls that you painted in a little dish to enjoy!

Ooooooh Celeste!! How pretty! What a gorgeous door by the way....... the first image could just be the frontpage of one of the beautiful Victorian style magazines, I swear! So so beautiful! I love those postcards. Wish I would get those in the mail for a change LOL. Better than bills all the time, haha. I really like it all so much as well as the beautiful Christmas greenery decorations! Even the lamp is decorated so beautifully! You've done it again! ;-)) Little brushfairy that you are ;-D
Big hugs and blessings,

Celestina, how are you, my friend? I can see you are enjoying this magical season and I am so glad that you are sharing it with us.
I am not visiting so much this week and maybe part of next because our family is in the middle of moving to a new house after living in ours for over 23 years. Sigh...to say I am overwhelmed is an understatement. ;) I am just checking email daily, but I thought I'd stop by and explain in case you missed the previous post where I mentioned it.
Love the way your white pieces pop against your black hutch, but I had to comment here because my heart always skips a beat when I see a red door. This has long been a dream of mine. LOVE the postcards.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, my dear. I will try to stop by again before the holidays are over.
XOXO's,
Marcia
These are just lovely. What is the exact size and how/where did you get the graphics printed?
Love the postcards! Visiting from Graphics Fairy!
Just a wonderful idea and so lovely!
What a great idea! We are many, looking for pieces of wood now! I just love this!!
I miss you! Thought I'd go back into your archives, because I know I have missed some of your posts. This is one of the posts I missed, and I'm so glad to have found it. What a brilliant idea! Absolutely beautiful door decor. I hope you are doing well. Hugs, Laurie
