2008 Christian Paper Artists Card Deck – Love

it’s time for the 3rd Christian Paper Artists playing card deck collaboration! i’m very glad to have had the chance to participate in all 3 decks. this year, the theme was Love.

here is my submission for the card back design. the group will be voting on the back design soon, so i’m hoping they like mine…

 

Christian Paper Artists 2008 Love Deck (back submission)

 

it is my own papercut design.

and here are the 2 cards i did for the deck…

 

8 of Clubs
 
Queen of Diamonds - Proverbs 31 Woman

 

these are also my own papercut designs… combined with a little painting, collage and photo-editing (for text). i used the same frame design for the  Queen as i did for the card back submission. it really is a versatile pattern element. the two looks are very different, even with the same element.

the patterns for the frame, woman, and vase of flowers are all up on my pattern group now, in case anyone is interested in them. i’m planning to get the other elements of the heart design worked into clean patterns and posted soon as well… and i’m considering using that design to work up a tutorial on papercutting.
