Thecraftycardmaker: Altered Playing Cards

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing how I created these four altered playing cards. I am taking part in a challenge in the Tracy Evans Facebook group.

This months prompt for K and L were

K - Key

K - your own choice

L - Love

L - your own choice

Below are my cards for these themes.

To begin I covered all four cards with some of the tissue paper that Tracy packs her parcels with.

I then added colour to each card using Craft Artist Fusion Pearl Fusion inks in indigo, hansa yellow deep, alizarin crimson and cade green.

KEY

For the key prompt I began by stamping the take flight stamp using twilight versafine clair ink.

Next I stamped the same stamp on seperate card using the same ink. I also stamped three of the berries from the holly and berries set using bali blue versafine clair. I cut out just the key with wings and the berries.

Next I carefully tied a piece of garden twine around the key and freyed the ends.

I glued the key and berries to the card using matte medium.

To finish the card I added three of the circular ephemera from the Sensus pack.

KISS

On the next card I stamped the shadowed elements using versafine clair twilight.

On seperate card I stamped the mistletoe and using an alphabet stamp the word kiss using avacado versafine clair. I cut them out and glued them to the card.

LOVE

To begin I added grit texture paste through the elongated hearts stencil.

Next I stamped the bird with hearts and the darker striped bird and one of the larger hearts using versafine clair nocturne. I then coloured them and cut them out.
