Altered Playing Card

Yesterday afternoon I got together with a couple of friends for an afternoon of creativity. We all took a idea or project to share with the group. Ali bought along some playing cards to alter using packing tape transfers and this is the result. These playing cards are a nice big size for altering. Firstly we sanded the cards and then I coloured my card with Brilliance ink. A text stamp was added for the background. The photocopy of the wee girl was lightly coloured with chalks. The butterfly wings were made from a photocopy that was transferred using packing tape. The tape was stuck over the image and then soaked in cold water for a few minutes. After soaking you can rub the paper off the tape, leaving a transparent coloured image. This was then attached to the card with a glue stick with the little girl.
