Shine Like the Stars Playing Card


SHINE LIKE THE STARS PLAYING CARD
The theme for the Full Deck Challenge Blog was to create a card using paint drips and holes. 
My constant is using 49 and Market collections along with a postage ticket, spatters and metals. 

Each week on Thursday Shanouki Art uploads a video sharing that week's challenge and the prompts for the following week. 
There are albums available for each week to add your beautiful cards to!

Enjoy Pam
