in addition to the lunagirl owl on the first card, that same card also features leaves from the linagirl "autumn leaves" collage sheet. i also have washi tape, a bit of a sun stamp from uptown rubber and stick on letters. (if you saw my monday post you can tell i was using some of the same supplies lol!). the background of the card itself was done with distress inks (over a gessoed card base).
the second card also features an image from lunagirl -- the woman at top left, from the "steampunk girls" collage sheet. the other steampunk images were 3 images from dezinaworld that i combined to make one digital collage piece, then printed and cut out. the stamped image (stamped on another sheet of designer paper) is from a tim holtz stamp set. the background on this altered card was done with alcohol inks (over a gessoed card base). also a fleur de lis brad!
here are claudine's pieces which we used for inspiration:
now back to that birds challenge -- you still have a week and a half to link up a creation featuring birds for a chance to win a shopping spree at lunagirl.. if you do not have any bird images to work with Karen has provided a freebie here. and of course the altered card deck challenge is ongoing for a total of 26 weeks, give or take.
i'm linking my fall owl to the brand new and exciting october/fall harvest/hallowe'en challenge at the recycle, re-purpose and re-invent challenge blog at doodle pieces as i "recycled and re-purposed" a playing card for this piece.
love to all.

Awesome takes on Claudine's inspiration. Love the autumn hues with the owl and the vintage feel of the other.

What a great collection of altered cards. Each one is so unique! Have a fabby weekend!
Michele, How very cool these are. I have been saving some Playing cards for altering for quite a few years but haven't done anything with them yet. Going to have to go hunt them down now, thanks for the great inspiration.
