Altered Playing Card

Hello Everyone. I got up bright and early and ready to start the day with a smile. The smile isn't there any more after spending almost half an hour on the phone to an Indian gentleman who kept going around in circles. All I wanted to do was add an ap to my i-pod to be able to see my bank balance--my husband, Vic, has had one for ages on his and it took him about a minute to add it without any hassle at all.

 After saying all the same things to him 10 times,(your first pet's name etc.), he decided the problem was my mobile phone number which they needed. I gave it to him  a few times times then he asked if it was a Smart Phone! Well it is 'smart' to me cause it works lol---- it isn't smart enough for the ap to be added to my i-pod though. I then thought I would be cunning and give my husband's mobile number--wrong move for sure--it was detected instantly and I can't have the ap unless I buy a Smart Phone. Technology gone mad I reckon.

Rant over and my smile is back--thank you for listening :)

So now to my real post for today

At Sandee and Amelia's Steampunk challenge this month the theme is to alter a playing card.

I painted the playing card with white emulsion all expect for one corner as the rule is that you leave the name of the card on show. I used various techniques to make a background then added a gold embossed crown and some metal effect card that I had made. The others things were in my Steampunk bits box apart from the jewels that no king should be without.

Thanks for popping in today

Love Chrissie xx
