GREYHOUND LOVE | REVERSE COLLAGE | ART JOURNAL PAGE

Dogs are my favourite animals.  I particularly have a soft spot for sighthounds, with 2 of my 3 dogs being lurchers.

For this art journal page, I repurposed a page from my 2017 greyhound calendar, and turned it into this page using a "reverse collage" technique.

Using Colouring Pages | CARDS

You may recall this Set of Planner Dividers I shared 6 weeks ago

Well this week I finally got round to using the other half of each colouring page, to make these greeting cards!
