Definition of collage according to the Collins English Dictionary:
"an art form in which compositions are made out of pieces of paper, cloth, photographs and other miscellaneous objects, juxtaposed and pasted on a dry ground."
This is the card and envelope I sent to one of my Flickr contacts together with the crochet flowers below.
Collage is a fun technique which allows you to mix all sorts of materials. On the card I used, once again, text and images taken from books on gardening and woodlands. These were bought at my local charity shop and cost between £1 and £1.50. Now, that's very good value 
. I also used some yarn on the side of the card. On the envelope I used a strip taken from a paint colour catalogue and an image from one of the books mentioned above.
Tip: Next time you go into a DIY store, see if they have paint colour catalogues or cards like the ones below. These are great to use on your projects, you can use them as they are or punch out shapes with your paper punches.
