At the end of last year I did some random collages using a variety of mediums and techniques one of which is shown above. I didn't know what to do with them until I was inspired by various tutorials on You Tube.
Now my not-so-wonderful butterfly collage has evolved into a range of usable stationery items including envelopes, notepaper and various cards for me to use in snail mail, journaling and happy mail. I made use of my computer scaling up and down sections of photographs of the collage. The printing on the computer did not stay true to the original colours but I don't mind that and the more subdued colours are much more me!
I am so happy with the results and glad I didn't bin my collages!
You d come up with some wonderfully creative ideas.
