Altered Playing Cards & Journal Pages – Week 1 of Alla’s Craftober Challenge

I’m showing how I alter playing cards with decoupage and acrylics. I’m making them into journaling cards with autumn, Halloween, steampunk themes, and I’m curious if you know what the stick figure drawings on two of the cards mean. Let me know in the comments if you’ve figured it out.

I’m also doing some doodling, mixed media, painting and stencilling to prepare some journal pages.

If you are following along, I’d love to see what you’re creating. You can share on your Instagram including the hashtag #AllasCraftober or in the community posts here on my YouTube channel.
