Play with old books to make a St. Patricks Day art card

I am a hoarder.

Because I love upcycling old stuff to art… that’s my excuse.

Now here is an old book which I did not read (I’m a bit sorry to the author!)

This book’s pages were easy to draw.

And luckily this book uses great quality paper to paint on.

It is strong enough to hold water color pencil with water .

Now! Let’s try a collage with crayon.

First, I made a messy crayon page.

What do I do now?

Cut a clover shape and look through the shaped cut paper.

Not sure what I can do with this. Maybe cut out the crayoned page to make collages.

And then, attach to a blank card.

Oh I like it! Let’s make more!

Done! For the message part, I used the PENCO embossing tape.

Now sealed and shipped!
