Floral Collage Cards

The collage and ephemera cards just keep coming. Today’s cards feature old book page collage overlaid with one layer of a floral napkin. I have a few collaged ‘mini masterboards’ made so I can cut elements or backgrounds out when I need them. For the card above I picked the rusty orange from the napkin to be the accent colour.

I recently bought a notch punch so I can create file dividers of any size; in the card above I made the blank orange one a little larger to show behind the floral & collage one. I added tickets stamped and die-cut, a scrap of hessian and a cut out from an old Betty Crocker ‘Good and Easy Cook Book‘!

On the second card I used an aged book page as the background and added the paper napkin layer to the mini notebook page with some mulberry paper for framing and contrast. The little green postage stamp is real and the vintage label is stamped.

For the recent collage cards I have pulled out some supplies that I’d almost forgotten, the pretty label border stamps, the mulberry paper and the ‘office’ type dies from Penny Black are in the current rotation.

The file dividers on the card below remind me of a recipe card box which is why it ended up with the little recipe book snippet on it. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions ‘Simple Strips – Thanks’ but I chopped it up to add to the file tabs.

    Two more beautiful collage cards Heather and the first does indeed look like a card for a recipe and the vintage style piece from a Betty Crocker cookbook and the piece of a napkin over the old book collage works brilliantly as a background and love the texture of the hessian and the added tickets. The second with an old book page too and the added napkin layer over the mini notebook page, and more wonderful texture using the contrasting dark green mulberry paper and some more lovely ephemera pieces too..very effective. x

  2. They are gorgeous, I do love the punch, I have one similar I need to use that more 🙂
