you are now entering fairyland; and altered deck fun

our new challenge at lunagirl moonbeams for the next two weeks is all about fairyland, a place many crafters visit with or without a challenge as far as i can tell.

in my ATC one beloved fairy keeps watch over other sweet fairy friends as they primp and play and relax among the flowers.  all vintage images (fairies and fan) are from lunagirl. background papers and butterfly are from my stash.


please join us in fairyland.
now i also want to share something else i am quite excited about


claudine at claudine's art corner is hosting an altered playing card challenge at her blog which just started in september so there is time to join the fun if you like.  i have always wanted to alter a deck of cards and this challenge is a great way to get started.  on day one we had the option to gesso (or sand) the entire deck so that each card will be prepped for the free tutorials to follow.  here's my evidence laying out to dry:



i'll be posting more photos as i continue along with this process!  i believe we will get a new instruction each week.
hope your week is moving along just right.
love to all.

Hi Michele, This is really lovely ATC and I love all the pretty little pieces. The prepared playing cards look very interesting too and hope you will come share some finished ones with us when our Recycle, Re-Purpose & Reinvent re-opens in October.

I'm interested to see how your altered deck shapes up -- Vicki's first two are so pretty, can't wait to see yours! I've always wanted to create a Tarot deck myself with vintage images. Maybe I'll get inspired (of course inspiration is not usually my problem, but rather finding TIME!)
