altered cards, set 5

i'm continuing with the altered card deck challenge, slowly but surely.  this is a challenge to alter an entire deck of cards with weekly tutorials over at claudine's art corner.  here is my 5th set:

as always both cards started with a gessoed background.  on the "create" card i painted the background with acrylic paints.  claudine used a circles stencil.  i didn't ave one so i made my own stencil with cardboard and scissors.  i didn't have the wonderful little winged boy stamp that claudine had but i had this little star guy from "stamp in the hand" and i gave him wings from a lunagirl collage sheet.  i did the doodling with a black ink pen and some with a white poster paint pen.  the "create" was from a word stamp set i have and the little dragonfly bard came from eyelet outlet.

the second card is covered with a variety of designer paper scraps and then i distressed it with a couple different distress inks. the lovely photo portrait is from the lunagirl african american vintage images CD.  claudine stamped her numbers but i used stickers and then finished with a butterfly brad and my dream stamp.

the rest of the group is a coupled weeks ahead but i am making my way forward with this.  i'd always wanted to altered card deck and it is wonderful to get inspiration and new ideas and techniques each week from claudine.

have a wonderful weekend!  love to all.
