I bought this beautiful 6x6 paper pad by Prima at the Altered Pages web store. I love the muted colors and choice of designs. One of the pages has this great collection of embellishment images. I cut them all out and chose two backgrounds to coordinate with them.
Rather than using the pages whole, I tore them into wide strips and inked the edges with a light brown ink.
Then I used a glue stick to glue them to a 4.25 x 6 piece of cardstock. I left the ragged eges barely hanging over the sides and trimmed down the top and bottom. I inked the straight edges to frame the background.
I sponged two colors of Prima paint onto the panel using a 6x6 brick stencil. I did the green first and then went over it with the copper. I wasn't careful about coverage. I wanted the light and dark areas to match the overall look of the background papers.
To go along with the Prima papers, I cut out one of the women on the Cinco de Mayo collage sheet.
There was still more background showing than I wanted to I chose another sheet from this paper pad with a nice selection of words and cut out a few.
The result is a lovely collage note card perfect for many occasions...or simply to say hello.
