Finished Cards.

I have now gone a step further with the cards.  I did learn one lesson, not to make the main picture on too big a piece because you end up with too many the same. Next time I would like to investigate brighter colours and more drip and drop technique.  This is really fun.

Anyway, here is a photo of what I have done...still have a few to go.
I found some textured board at the newsagent, but only in the burgundy and green so will look for others to get more variety.

    They all look lovely Shirley. You did have lots of fun. What about using some of the painted piece for bookmarks?? They are always popular and handy to have on hand. I've always been guilty of painting too much fabric too, and then I have to live with it if it's a dudd!! Will write tomorrow, friend arriving shortly for patchwork fun.

    They look great, Shirley. I like the textured board, I have some of that in my stash from my paper crafting days.

    They look great, Shirley! (Can you have too many cards?) i see you've made yours all different sizes. Good idea! Helps for getting those special bits, too, I imagine. Looking forward to seeing more painting experiments.

    Shirley, super cards. You did really much work. (while we were driving home and now doing a lot, a lot, a real lot of necessary home and garden work!)
