Welcome to Day 4, ready for some fun! I grew up in the country and for some of our passing of time we enjoyed playing cards, it was inexpensive form of entertainment.
Hey, just need the ace here for, can you guess for which card game. Did I mention hearts are trump.
I created just one full suit; hearts and used a variety of the unity stamp images.
A variety of coloring techniques were used from watercolor with ink pads to watercolor with colored pencils and the images were cut out.
Several different background papers were modge podged onto the card and then the image itself was modge podged on and used a glossy modge podge to emulate the playing cards. Looks like a nice run for rummy.
Haven't had the chance to play with these yet, I of course have three more suits to go. But I look forward to a game of solitaire, especially when I'm traveling for work and am alone in the hotel room. I hope you thought this was a fun project and I'm inspired to see if you make any of these yourself if you do please share on the unity Facebook page. Also, don't forget to leave a comment again today on the blog post for your chance to win a grab bag from unity stamp company. Happy stamping, blessings Michelle

ReplyDeleteWow, I love these ATC cards Michelle. Your blog has been a lot of fun to read each day for the GIUG. The images you used are too cute. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea. I don't think I would actually play cards with them, but love the idea to put on greeting cards or as use for bookmarks, etc. We still play cards, especially on vacation and love Euchre. Euchre seems to be a Midwest thing, since people from other states never know what I am talking about, lol.
