| Die-cut birds from repurposed photos |
I like playing around with photos....sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't end up quite as I imagined it would, or I get carried away and have extra prints, when one is sufficient. The red daisy photo was an example of the latter, but as I hate throwing things away, I decided cut out a flock of little birds instead.
I'm quite pleased with the end result - the photo (commercially printed) has a nice surface sheen, the paper is stiff enough to be mounted with foam dots and keep its shape, and it cut easily. If you were really keen you could even design your own prints especially for certain dies (I'm already imagining a collage of tiny feathers for these guys). You can get a 15 x 10cm print for just a few cents from many processors nowadays - bargain thick patterned paper!!
