52 Card PIckup: Come Fly With Me

Oops.  I failed to blog about my 52 card pickup make last week.  My inspiration started with the color scheme for the challenge over at Rubber Dance Art Stamps.

The base, of course, is a playing card that had been gesso'd, etc.  Several weeks ago I was working on something and had leftover red embossing paste.  I had put it down on this card through a heart stencil and ended up not liking it at all.  Acrylic paint to the rescue!  ;)

The phrase and butterfly/girl image are from Rubber Dance.   Thanks for taking a peek and I wish you a fab weekend.

52 Card Pick-up

I've seen a lot of posts about 52 Card Pick-Up over the last few years.  The idea is to take a deck of playing cards and alter them - one for each week of the year.  I've got a bunch of cards all gesso'ed and ready to alter sitting on my desk.  Finally, I'm playing along!

This first card I made using the colors for the Rubber Dance Art Stamps challenge for January.  (I used their stamps on the heart.)

 

The second card is a hot mess.  :)  I opened up my box of Neocolor watercolor crayons and picked the two pointiest (i.e. colors I never reach for) and made myself use them.

I hope I can get my buns into gear each week to finish up my whole deck by the end of the year.  :)
