Raven Upcycled Flashcard

Altered Flashcard

I wanted to create an upcycled art piece for Shell's September DT Challenge on Smeared & Smudged.  I used a children's flash card to create this little bit of art. I covered the image with a piece of page torn from an damaged hardcover book and used a watercolor crayon to give the background some color. The raven and the words "quoth the raven" are digital stamps from the Quoth the Raven set by Smeared Ink. I stamped a swirly-q design on the background with a Tim Holtz stamp. The card is embellished with lots of glitter to make the wings sparkle and a purple fabric bow.

I am entering this altered flashcard in the following challenges:

Forever Night - black, white + one color
Smudgy Antics - blackbird

Before you throw things away, take a look at them and think about how you can alter or reinvent them. Always recycle when possible!
