ATC Swap Cards

Cards I made for Rita's swap. Watercolor backgrounds, rubber stamping, packing tape transfers, and illustrations cut from a 1944 McCall's magazine.

Just For Fun - ATC

I joined a new Facebook group this week called Abandoned Art and this is the first piece I plan to set free.

3 of Cups - Take 2

Recreated my 3 of Cups card for the steampunk tarot deck. I just wasn't happy with the other one. Too cartoony. Now I need to buy more ink and get these printed up and mailed off. They are sucking up ink like crazy. Turned out to be one VERY expensive project.

3 of Cups Steampunk Tarot Card project

Steampunk Tarot Card Deck Project

It has been so long since I've done any artstuff, so I'm really excited about the project I joined. It's a Steampunk Tarot Card deck. I was assigned two cards -  the Four of Canes (Wands) posted here, and the Three of Cups which I still need to complete.

Here's the original cane I used. Just needed to "brass" it up and make the wood bit longer.

ATC for February's Challenge

All hand-drawn, colored, inked - nothing digital for a change. The challenge was that we had to use at least a bit of every item that was sent to us and include the word FUN somewhere in the card.  One of the items sent was this cute Zetti stamp character -but since there was only one and I was making four cards- I decided to draw it myself 3 times and kind of reassembled it so it would fit on the card. Originally the "wheel" bit was down below the square "body". I was really happy with how they turned out. None of them are exactly like the original, but they are very close. I did a different pattern on each cone hat just to mix it up a bit. The coloring was done with Neocolor II water-soluable wax pastels that I just bought - I LOVE THEM! They are like crayons for grown-ups. Really fun to work with. The painted/glittered papers in the background were some of the provided items as was the copper colored paper that I punched the little puzzle pieces out of. The red chalk stenciling was done with PanPastels, another new to me product that I absolutely LOVE.
