Here are some examples of greeting cards that I have been working on. These are more for experimental purposes to see what works and what doesn't. There are a variety of different materials and techniques as described in the captions. There are two things I have to work on to perfect the card designs. First is getting a smooth finish on the back surface for people to sign their name and second is having the cards dry flat so the edges are not curled up. Time for some more experimenting, I do believe.

| Pink heart complete with coloured paper, red heart with tissue paper placed on top of wet paper. |

| Card made from newspaper instead of recycled paper. Text is done through stamps and ink pad, letterpress would be better. |
 |
| Heart create without filling the heart mold with paper. |
 |
| Texture on the back of the cards left from the screen. Need to find a way to leave a smooth finish. |
 |
| Hugs and Kisses - two coloured papers |
 |
| Hugs and Kisses - trial with food colouring. As shown, the pigment disappears from the paper when finally dried. Made with less paper pulp than the others and rolled with a rolling pin to create a smoother finish. |
