Alphabet Swap - J,K,L.

This time I completed two cards for J, one I shall send to UK Stampers Group.
J for Joker.
Now before I go any farther I will tell you that I have a pack of cards that are perfect for ATCs.  I bought them some time ago, knew exactly where they were in the small room,but now ..... I cannot find them anywhere!!!!
I printed a few images from the web onto card and then cut them all out.  I made up the cards but then decided that this is the one I will enter for the Alphabet Challenge.
I have a cards background and then fussy cut out the border and attached it with thin 3D foam.  I cut the Joker card out and attached it with a thicker 3D foam tape so that it stood proud of the rest of the card.
K is for Keys.
Recently we had a diecut swap in the Group so I have used two of these keys.
The background is a piece of kitchen roll which was all I had to hand when I tried out the Chocolate Baroque Butterfly stamp so I used a gluestick to attach to the base card.  I then added the sentiment and attached the keys with a brad through an (very) old ring sizer.  I had to cut the keys to get them to fit through the sizer but it doesn't show too much.

L is for London
I did a bit of stamping and masking here but, you know, I still can't get the tower clock to look in proportion to the vehicles!
I coloured the card using Inktense pencils and, this time, instead of using my waterbrush on the colours, I sprayed the card with clear water and then placed a piece of kitchen roll over the top to mop up the excess.
I love the way the colours have really popped!  Nothing wishy washy here, this is London!!
