Themed Collage in Card making
If you were to give a multi-faceted person a greeting card one day, why not consider creating a themed collage card ð€“ wherein every little thing that best describes that person is there. In themed collage cardmaking, you don"t have to limit yourself to what"s available.The first thing you need to consider is the personality of the person. This can be quite easy if you know the person full well. However, you can go out of your way to do some bit of research if you lack the facts. After determining the inclinations and aspirations of the person, you can then conceptualize the theme of your collage cardmaking project.
Next, gather as many old magazines and photos as you can. See which ones have images, texts, or designs that best describes the person in any way. Cut those out jaggedly or neatly ð€“ you decide. You can even artistically tear them out with your fingers, but be careful so you won"t destroy the image!
Lay out all the cutouts and see if they"re enough to fully describe the person. If the person loves food, music, the beach and shopping, then try as much as possible to cutout representative images or texts of each point of interest.  At best, try to select images with colors that complement each other. You can go for reds, blacks and whites, full color, sepia, grayscale, or whatever color combination you want.
Moving on to card making, arrange the cutouts on a blank card. Decide where you want them pasted and how you want them to overlap each other. Once you"ve picked the final arrangement, paste or glue them on the card one by one. Apply glue liberally so that it won"t warp the card or the cutouts. Smooth the collage to get rid of bumps and bubbles. Let it dry.
Now you have a themed collage card that"s perfect for your multi-faceted friend. It could be your mom who takes care of a lot of things including the kids, your dad, her job, and the family pet. It could be your sporty girlfriend who is equally adept at the court and in the kitchen. This themed collage cardmaking project is intended to let you create something that truly describes that one special person in your life ð€“ a unique and symbolic personalized card.
