Marvel at the Beauty of Life

I am taking part in #52CafeCards
which is a year long creative challenge,
creating art on playing cards
following the prompts provided by Marta Lapkowska.

The eleventh prompt is K for Kaleidoscope.


I adhered crumpled white tissue paper
to the front of the playing card,
to create some texture.

I struggled for ages trying to work out how to approach this prompt,
finally I composed my own quote,
printed out on more white tissue paper.

"View your life
as through a kaleidoscope
and marvel at the beauty
of the ever-changing patterns."

Then added a trio of winged creatures,
which to me are the visual representation of change & transformation.

I also used
Distress Crayon (picked raspberry)
Gelatos (Passion Fruit)
