Now Playing: bits and pieces come together nicely
Topic: Some Backlog
Here are two cards I made from my parts-and-starts drawer quite a while back.
The first started out as a simple magazine photo of a lake. That ring of ripples was too good to resist so I added a rub-on of a jumping fish. Then came the swooping bird and finally the rowboat. I had these great text stickers and they were the perfect finishing touch.
The second card motif was a botanical illustration from a book. I cut an oval in printed scrapbook paper to frame it and used the center scrap to make the matching tag. The text blocks are stickers.
I love being able to combine elements from a variety of sources - many of which would be trash in another's hands - to make something fresh.
