FLOWERS AS INSPIRATION!


I was given this sweet bunch of flowers, which I put in my small studio pottery jug - see top right picture.  I used them as inspiration for these collaged double-sided bookmarks - see above.  I did not have to cut out the cardboard shapes, as I recycled the packaging which came with some socks I ordered on-line! I painted them with gesso and acrylics to make a background for the design.  To finish I added ribbon and gift tags, using the punched holes which were already in the cardboard shapes.

I also made a birthday card for a friend, continuing the flower theme, and using a scrap sheet that I used to try out colours etc. as a background...
