This is another ATC I've made, it's been a while since I posted any but I love the old sewing papers from button cards etc for ephemera.

I made a series of collages some time ago using this found image of a skirt and legs and I made it into a card but then never uploaded it. I have several cards that I've made that I'm just not happy with. I wasn't sure anyone would like this one as much as I do but in fact there were some nice compliments. So....I guess I just have to trust my judgement.

Here's the second 4 x 4 collage.....I added the day of the dead skulls to this one because my partner mentions liking that sort of thing and it seemed very Frida as well.

This Frida collage and the next were made for a swap. The purpose of the swap was to make two 4 x 4 collages and so I chose some images of Frida Iiked and just cut and paste. This one has green scrapbook paper as well as green wallpaper that parts of it looked like camouflage to me.

Wow, I've been really distracted lately and haven't been posting here much. This was a card that I think someone gave me in a package of ephemera because I don't remember putting the leg on it. I mistakenly read it to say Amour at first.....but it's armour which is maybe more practical for love at times! Anyways I like how this card turned out and I love using these types of recycled pieces of paper.

Just another collaged ATC...I love this old button card and the brown pieces of paper on the sides were chose mostly for the color and the style of text which I love.

Another grid style collage....I really love colour and making a pattern with lines or boxes or strips of papers. My least favorite part about making ATC's and collage is the scanning, editing...cropping etc., but I do love that people will see my work immediately and leave feedback about the work.

On this page I was just trying to continue with a look that would match the other pages using scraps of paper on my desk. The pieces I chose were matching in a general theme, color and some text which I used not so much for what it said but for the style of the font. I have a weakness for old fonts...typewriter style letters, and numbers.
