Inspiration playing cards

Here is my latest project. They are called inspiration cards, the purpose of them is to take you out side of your box and help you get inspired again when you hit that creative slump.

This is the first step, buy a deck of playing cards they can be what ever size you want, I used the standard size for mine as I will be swapping them with others.

The second step is grab your gesso and cover the front and back of the card this may take a few layers depending on what brand of gesso you use 

The third step is embellish your card any way you like. I used silks acrylic paints , some alphabit stickers that were stashed away and some bling, I had to let my paint sit over night to dry after they dried I put my stickers and bling on them, next you want to seal them, I used collage Pauge glossy , which I picked up from joanns , I love this stuff I use it on everything !

Now I am waiting for them to dry again! So I can add my inspiration on the blank side of the card I'm so excited you can use these cards in your art journal , on scrap book pages or just about any way you like , I will post the final picture as soon as the drying has finished .

Have a crafty day!
