One of the things I like to do is to print out pictures of antique floral postcards on cardstock. In the studio I spray the postcard images one at a time, with a fine mist of water. Then I quickly flip over on another piece of blank cardstock, rub over the image, and peel it up. The resulting transfered image has a dreamy watercolor look that I love. Then I use these images in my collage work. In this case I made a "Tag Book" out of them, by reusing blank tags as book pages.
