My take on "Specimen" Cards.


I took my pictures on my old typewriter, since it's still quite humid outside, and my lens kept fogging up. Liz the paper project had a tutorial on making these Polaroids. I used the stitched slots die from Tim Holtz, and just removed the slots.


For the background I just typed random words on a piece of colored paper. Here I used Vellum. I just covered the back with a book page.

 

Then I thought why not use my Rolodex cards. For the front I used acetate and an old stamp from my Mom.

On the back I used Vellum, but the same image.



Then I made one upright. I used acetate for the front and back, just different images. Here I used part of a map as the background.

For this side I just used some leftover paper I had as the background. I typed both phrases on my typewriter, and cut it out with my stitched circle die.








Just another way to use up my stash. Thanks Liz for the idea.
