sunprint cards :: cyanotypes

i did more sunprints over the weekend.  this time, i first printed out images onto transparent paper.  i then used those as my objects when exposing to the sun.  after rinsing in the water & lemon juice, i let dry for a couple days.  then last night, i scanned in the cyanotypes and manipulated on the computer a bit.  for the bird image, i overlaid a texture and played with the hue & saturation.  for the sunflower, i overlaid a texture and then layered the original photo on top of that. 

i'm not completely crazy about either, but i thought they might make cute notecards someday when i need to send out a quick thank you.

what do you think?  any ideas for their use?
