My Victorian calling card I found this good description of calling cards on the Internet: (ABOUT VICTORIAN CALLING CARDS... The custom of carrying calling cards began in France in the early 1800's. It quickly spread throughout Europe, and then became vastly popular in the United States. Calling cards were carried by the "well-to-do" ladies who made a point to "go calling" on friends and family on a specified day of the week or month, depending on their location and proximity to neighbors. They are also known as "visiting cards." As described above, these cards were left at each persons home the individual went to visit, whether they were home or not. The person visiting would leave their "calling card" in a specific "card receiver" which was set on an entry table or "parlor center table." Sometimes the visitor would leave the card with a servant so that the homeowner would know they stopped by.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I saw the raffle for the calling cards the other day I decided I just had to design this one for myself. The ones in the raffle are really quite beautiful, but I always have to be unique! LOL. It is quite special. The cat is my beloved BabyCat, and she is holding a journal. She was the leader of the CLAW Journal Society a number of years ago. I just reused the logo for the Society, and designed the card around it, using pink roses, which was her flower, and a pink background. I love doing graphics, although I am no expert. Cynaemon |
