ATCs For All - Collage and Text

I have never made a card to include text so once again this is a challenge.

I picked out some of the cards that I made with my first adventure into backgrounds - here.  
I found my poetry books and sorted one of Tennyson's poem written in dialect, interesting speech by a father to his son.

I rough cut the page and then tore each verse roughly so that I had three separate text scraps.

On the first card I used stickles dots along one edge.

On the second I used a strip of bubble wrap and gold ink pad.

I added some pink H2O over part of the card and some 'dried glitter glue' to the third one.

I added the text at an angle across the card and then realised that I needed to cover the whole card to prevent the background from sticking and to seal the text scrap.  I used my faithful PVA, spreading it evenly and thinly over the whole card and then put to one side to dry.
