Deck of Cards Collage Challenge - Week 13

Week 13 of a year long collage challenge,

hosted by Melinda Morgenstern.

Using a pack of playing cards,

the challenge is to create a collage

once a week,

using a specified card

& follow an additional,

yet optional, prompt.

The card Melinda picked this week

was the Jack of Clubs &

the prompt was SPRING.

She had a spring in her step

The playing card image

had been printed misaligned,

which gave it an interesting slant.

I used two images from

 Joseph Cornell Box.

Entirely Recreated

Once I had completed my two collages for this month's

charity postcard challenge,

(which used only the materials supplied by

Contemporary Collage Magazine)

I decided to create another set of collage inchies,

again only using the remains of their collage material,

each one on a 1 inch square of kraft card.

I have quite a few scraps still left.
