The background on these cards is watercolour paper. To achieve the look of foliage, I covered the paper with watery acrylic paint and scrunched a large piece of cling film over the top, pressing it down. When the paint was dry, I removed the cling film - some areas were coloured, but in some parts the white remained, giving a unique mottled effect.
The stems and leaves are collage, using coloured paper from glossy magazines. The flower heads were knitted using 100% wool. Some of the flower heads were then felted in the washing machine.
