Collage fun!

I invited my collage class over for an extra day of creating fun! We made these little cards with envelopes to match.

First doing "strip" collage on a 1-1/2" piece of mat and putting a color wash over it and then attaching it in the card window.

Some of the girls had not seen each other since class was over, so there was lots of chattering and catching up on everyone's summer.

Here's one in the making. Pretty green.

Busy hands.

And lunch!

Melon and Summer salad.

Breads and fresh summer tomatoes.

Julie made Giada's Antipasto plate.

Looking good with her roasted red peppers in the center.

So we created and ate and created and ate.

Marge showed us how to do gestural lettering. We could either use it on our little decorated square or on the blank part of the card for decoration and interest.

A nice time of sharing ideas.

Not many supplies needed for this project and you end up with a lovely little card.

I think everyone had fun!

Even Danielle!
