A Quest

Good Morning All
I was given some pictures like large postcards and asked if I could use them.  I never want to throw anything away, so of course I said yes.  I didn't want to use them just as they were so I want to ask for ideas.



       Here is a picture of some of them.  They are all         flowers here but I do have more of
         sea scenes.


Here is a couple that I came up with and what I used  -----



Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares and X Cut heart as shown.  When you cut this you get lots of tiny  hearts as left overs so I cant throw these away
can I?.



  The pink square in this one is a diecut I bought off Ebay.  I cut some of my squares in half to use as corners.  I cut the smallest square to use as a centre then added a satin bow and a charm.

CHALLENGES -----
Sarah Hurley # 83 - Dimension / Texture

In the Pink # 25 - Hot Pink
 

This one is an 8" square base because I wanted to use two hearts crossing over each other.  Added more satin ribbon and diamond gems and hearts in the cut outs of the hearts.  Butterflies and more hearts tumbling down.  Squares cut in half again for corners and one whole to mount the gold hearts on.

What do you think?  Anyone got any other ideas what I could use these cards for?  Any I really like I will send some crochet flowers to or some bead pins.

    Hi Wendy
    You have made two fab cards as it is chuck!
    I would save that picture of the plums and give it John when you re-start the mojos hahaha!
    That x cut heart is gorgeous.Must hunt that one down.
    You could cut a few that tone together and make a collage effect background for a card or picture(to frame or hang on the wall) Or cut into panels or squares and cover in clear embossing powder to create a glossy tile effect. Or cut into strips to use as borders or wraps for a plainer style card. . . . . . . . .and now I will shut up lol!
    Have a great day. x

    Hi Wendy, These are beautiful cards and would definately make wonderful Valentine's cards. I think I would be having a look through the 'pile' of postcards and see whether or not there are any that you could turn into decoupage or pyramage style cards. I would photocopy some of the postcards so that I could make some pyramage cards. Hugs, Jen x
