Playing cards album by Titbelsoeur

Coucou la compagnie !

A big thank you for leaving so many comments on my first blog post ! 

Today, I can't wait to show you this... thing... anyway !

My first intent was to use 14 playing cards, from 1 to Joker... 

then the idea came to transform the characters (king, queen and the guy-I-don't-know-how-you-name-him-in-English-cards) with pictures kept here and there on the web... 

then the idea came to use the lyrics of an old never-ending nursery rhyme aiming to teach the days of the week to little children... 

then I searched other pictures for all the cards...

then I started painting, first white to blur the backgrounds... second blue and yellow...

then I stamped the marvelous The Artistic Stamper stamps I don't get enough of (sounds English, huh?)

then I glued the pics

and I stamped the text... letter by letter... don't wanna talk about this, I'd better forget ;-)

Anyway, here is the... thing:

Those of you who know me already suspect I COULD NOT stop there !

They are right!

A little sardine tin was wandering around... I have put make-up on her, and look how happy she is now, and how smart she is with her little slippers ! And how proud for hosting such a nice playing card mini-album !

Stamps I used :

clocks & cogs

collage & ephemera

time

our house

crowns & wheel

I hope you like my project,

thanks for stopping by, 

I am looking forward to reading your comments ! 

See you again soon...
