Hello Everyone, I hope you have had a good week. I thought I would share another of the altered playing cards that I have been making ).
Although I have been following the ideas and techniques from Stephanie Ackerman, I am using different colours and am using them in my small Positivity Journal. I have two to share over the coming week or so, both using the same design on the card, but different colour combinations on the pages.
The background was made with tissue wrap, daubed with distress paints and wiped back in places with a babywipe.
Sprays and masks/stencils create some great texture and contrasting colour …..
…. and tissue tape adds another layer to the depth.
A computer generated quote to help me remember to always try new techniques and look for new ideas.
Another one of these soon.
Have a fabulous week and take care.
hugs Brenda xxx

It's gorgeous, Brenda. Love the colours you used , and the quote...so true!
The altered playing card is so beautiful but to then take said card and create a journal page, that is inspirational in itself.

Lovely journal page! Having a quick look through several of your recent posts, I am a bit behind in reading.. I've still got 70 unread posts from you (I receive your rss feed in my mailprogram), so won't comment on them all hehe. But it's lovely to see your work!
Now I'm back to browse a few more posts before doing some househould chores.
This is just fabulous. Great composition of elements. Love the colors !!!
Thanks for sharing.

I just adore this color combo and composition, Brenda. Had spied it on Pinterest and pinned it last week to my art journal board, but now today it's going onto ATCs as well. So beautiful!!
