This seed packet had been on my work table for some time. Most seed packets are printed on glossy paper but this one had an appealing matte finish.
For fun, I chopped it up with the idea of making a few collage post cards. Then scrounged through the scrap bins for some coordinating papers.
Went for mostly green papers but influenced by the packet's red maple leaf logo also threw in some red ones. Then just started playing around.
I prefer cut paper to torn edges (although I enjoy torn paper in other people's collage work) and thought the long narrow strips referenced the long English cukes!
Moved the bits and pieces around over a day or so, trying not to overthink their placement. When I was mostly happy, I glued them down.
