Altered playing cards
I have been doing an online course at Artful Gathering, led by Mary Jane Chadbourne, which involves altering playing cards. This has been so much fun.
Here are the first stages of the cards. Having sanded them all and applied clear gesso, the first layers of colour went on.
Then came layers of ink, to add depth, stencillling and stamping.
More tomorrow!

Painty yumminess
I had a piece of cardboard measuring 30 x 38.5 cm knocking around and so I decided to get my paints and stencils out and have a play. This was the result.

Freedom to be me
A journal page created from acrylic paint, washi tape, stamps and pens. Not sure I like it (although the photo doesn't really do it justice). Do you?

New life plaque
While I was at the classes with Dina Wakley earlier in the year I started decorating a tile that I didn't have time to finish. I didn't like it very much and so decided to use it as the background for another piece. I added some more paint to the tile and then collaged on the butterflies (from Tim Holtz tissue paper). I then stamped on some script using light brown ink. I then painted the heart a dark turquoise - the same colour as the base of the tile. Once dry I applied crackle glaze and then a layer of the sandy colour - the same colour as the top layer of the tile. As the paint dried it crackled. I then painted the little chipboard flowers and butterflies and attached them, with the letters and keys, to the plaque. Done! I just have to decide where to hang it now.

A summery tag
I used Jo Firth Young's stamps from PaperArtsy to make this tag. I coloured the flowers using ProMarkers.

Life doesn't have to be perfect
This journal page is the wonderful culmination of lots of layers of acrylic paint, with more paint then added through a stencil, scraps of paper collaged on top and pieces of chipboard added. Hope you like it!

Adventure collage
I was recently doing some sorting out and came across this collage I made a few years ago. As I am 99% certain I didn't post it at the time I thought I would do so now. I think the fairies come from Lisa's Altered Art.

Down came the rain
I posted this piece in advance, so let's hope that it isn't raining when you see it!
