who are offering a prize of 2 collage sheets to our lucky winner.
I chose to use the Fancy Birds collage page which has a set of gorgeous birds wearing crowns, flowers or hats to make a set of notelets. There are 9 birds on the page but I only used 6 of them.
I started by creating the backgrounds with Brushos on watercolour paper and trimming them to fit the 6" (15 cm) scalloped card blanks. I added a white seam binding ribbon before fixing the backgrounds to the card bases.
I used a graphics program to print out the six birds I wanted to use individually so that I could die cut them using either a plain circle or a scalloped circle die. I then die cut a mat for each image using a scalloped circle die.
I layered the bird images onto the scalloped mats and fixed them to the cards. I created some sentiments on the computer and printed them out - apart from the Christmas one.
I finished the notelets with some die cut leaves, or flourishes, and some coloured gems.
Now please visit the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the wonderful projects and cards created by our talented team using Wendylynn's Paper Whims images.
