UKATC Extra Swap - Covered Photo Mounts

This is a new area of creativity for me.  I sorted out some slide mounts, still in the boxes I had from Paper Wishes way back when, checked to see that I had read the instructions for the swap correctly, and proceeded to decorate.

 I used pale mauve corrugated paper and green handmade paper to cover the original mounts, leaving the dark green fronts clear as backs.  I attached some punchings to decorate, lavender for the mauve and pink for the green.   Terrible picture for colour!!!

I used glitter paper and embossed cream paper for these two.  I stamped Hello down the one side and added a cream cat outline and some gold tulips to the blue one.  I stamped a pattern with black ink and added a pink girl to the lover corner.

Pink shiny paper and cream embossed paper covered the last two mounts.  I used a glue pen to draw little flowers in the four corners and filled them in with pink micro beads.  Once dry I used the glue pen to draw some leaves along three sides and filled them with green micro beads.  I ran some multicoloured thread through some clear glue and lay it along the top and bottom of the mount.  I then glued a gold ribbon flower in each corner.

Hopefully they will be acceptable, as I sourced some images from the web to see how others had decorated their mounts.

UPDATED: I have received the following ....
