This was a last minute idea for a still life project. They are congratulation cards from my wife’s high school graduation. I attached them to a green felt background with the intent of replacing it with something different.

First problem, I couldn’t get the cards to stay attached to the background, they kept falling. I gave up trying to get them into a pattern and took what stuck.

Next, using photoshop for the iPad I couldn’t completely delete the background. I’m sure there is a way, I just couldn’t find it. So I darkened it and called it a day.

The charm of this picture is looking at the cards from another era.
