Cut And Shuffle Squares

The Spring Hill catalog arrived with so many enticing pictures of gorgeous flowers, I wanted to order most of them.  Instead, I had to think of a way to make art with the pictures.  This idea was #8 "Reassemble" among "50 Creativity Exercises" in The Collage Workbook Book

by Randel Plowman.

Purple Lilies and Roses

Roses

Pink Lilies

Red Peonies

Fancy Peonies

Peach Roses

Hens and Chickens

Clematis

My secret technique?  Backing each picture with 

full-sheet white labels, then cutting out the smaller 

pieces (either 1", 1+1/2", or 2+1/4").  

I glued the squares to card stock bases 

to make the designed cards.
