Just wanted to pop on and upload my first altered playing cards for the swap NettyB's hosting over on UKS - we're working our way slowly through suits, and the first is Hearts... Hence my rather guilty-looking photo of 'Jack' - a little boy with a love of jam tarts - caught red handed...!
I've used a differnt technique to my usual photocards (in which I age the card and adhere the photo) and this time have mirror-printed onto acetate, then backed with card and framed, reminiscent of a projector slide, and I'm rather please with how it has turned out. I hope that the recipients like them, because I really enjoyed coming up with my design, and can't wait to see what other people have done with the theme.
Thanks for looking! Leanne x

Hey Leanne - thanks for your comment on our blog! Glad you found us. And yes, we do include internationals in our drawing! :)
Hi Leanie
Love these altered cards they're fabulous!
I've never tried this but you've made me want to have a go. (mmm I'm wondering if I could incorporate altered cards in a box)
Thanks for visiting and leaving a lovely comment and thanks for the inspiration!
