Flo's collaged postcards

I've now heard word from both Vicki and Nigel that their postcards have arrived, so here they are blogged before I forget :)

These were the backgrounds I received from Jean:


and


And this was what they looked like once I had done my bit:


and


I didn't realise until after that second one was finished that I had inadvertently left the word "crap" by the umbrella lady's face - oops! :D

Like a lot of you I found this project a real challenge!  The hardest bit for me was not being able to use a pen or pencil to add a bit of a drop shadow to my people, or to grab an ink pad to ink the edges of the card a tad....

It was fun though :)

  1. WOW. These are great. Yes, I really enjoyed the challenge, and it was a challenge, and hope that some time we could give it a go again. (Perhaps next time I could follow the instructions correctly).
    For some reason the first one keeps making me think it is the poster for an opera, and I keep trying to think what the opera might be called. Definitely not by Mozart, though.
