Clue

For this swap we had to base our cards on the game of Clue.  Each card had to have a different character and weapon from the game.  Rooms weren't required but happily encouraged.  This was such fun.  I based my cards on an old clue game I picked up at a rummage sale some years ago.  I drew with Sharpie permanent pen, colored my characters and weapons with Copic markers and colored my rooms with colored pencil.

APC's - Aces

Last set for the deck - Aces.  I started by choosing dragon images and so went for an Asian theme.  I used origami papers to cover the body of the playing cards then layered the dragons and additional Asian themed photo images.  I added some stickers from Starform and colored them in with gel pen.

Altered Rolodex Cards - 4x6

The Letter C

Front View

I chose Coney Island for my letter C altered rolodex card.  I used scrapbooking papers to cover the rolo and then found vintage post cards images of Coney Island for the front and back.  I also added some washi tape and die cuts.

Bach View

Whimsical Wedding Cakes

The challenge for this swap was get creative and to stack cakes as you would for a wedding, but come up with themes not necessarily for weddings.  So I decided on a "fruit" cake, a zentangle style cake, and stacked cupcakes.  I drew with a sharpie permanent pen, colored with copic markers, and added small patterns in the background with fine point Bic markers.

APC's - Kings

 King Charles

 King Stephen

 King Edward

King Robert

I decided to use vintage photos of men for my altered King playing cards.  I used washi tape first to cover up the majority of the card and then applied the photo on top.  I added vintage cigar bands to the bottoms of the photos, which I thought was a gorgeous shape to accent each one with.  I used tiny cardstock lettering stickers as I tried to choose names for my gentlemen that seemed to fit their image.

Postage Stamp People

For this ATC swap we were required to use a real postage stamp of a head and create the rest of the picture.  I used Sharpie pen and Bic permanent markers to color with.

Chibis, Chibis Everywhere

These ATC's are for a swap at the ATC's For All Forum.  Hand drawn chibis done with Sharpie pen and Bic permanent markers for color.
