Birthday cards

I've been creating another batch of bases for cards working with collage and colour on watercolour paper. This is really good fun to create base papers that can later be used as collage fodder - you could do this on book paper, sheet music, magazine pages, maps... if you can think of a paper you could add these layers.

Stencil details added then trimmed down ready for further embellishment.

One turned into Tag 24

Here are some turned into cards already gifted - I love to add stitch so I always decorate my feature card and then stitch it on at the end. 

And I recently used another for a paper doll

Really looking forward to using the rest.

Back to work today for me. Happy August to you - hope the sun is shining where you are.
