Collages for cardmaking using hand decorated papers, scraps, tissue, napkins and torn pattern pieces

Needing to start on cards for family for next month I wanted to make up a few collages for backgrounds.  I chose papers that were not speaking to me from my stash and added pieces using diluted clear glue!!  

The bright one (T,L) was a swap item which had writing on it which I covered with scraps.

Brown one (T,M) was a colour printed image.  I added watercolour all the way around, torn bits of pattern instructions and tissue and two strips of paper napkin.  

Scrappy (T,R) started as a sheet of scrap paper to which I added a whole variety of paper scraps from my stash and then I added several strips of white tissue to soften the edges and keep them all in place.  

Blue collage (M,L) started with a scrap piece of paper to which I added some deli paper.  I added torn pieces of paper and some little squares.  Over that I added some torn pieces of white tissue.  It has a dark line because I had already cut that one apart so I just laid the piece next to each other.  

Rose tissue (M,R) started with a subtly stamped piece of decorative paper in browns and blues and I adhered a large piece of rose tissue paper over it.  

Motley yellow (B) started with a piece of hand decorated paper and I overlaid a piece of paper napkin which I had used to wipe up some paint in yellows and browns.  There was less see through than I expected so it may get another layer or some stamping before I use it.  I have not made some of these in quite a while and I am looking forward to making cards.  Therese
