I'm late for Sunday (internet problems), but I couldn't resist joining in the last Halloween challenge of the year at Sunday Postcard Art. Kris Dickinson is our hostess with the mostest again, and the challenge she gave us was to create something Halloween-ie using orange, black, green and purple.
I decided to make a playing card inspired postcard - the Four of Cats. Wouldn't it be fun to make a whole deck?
This week the theme at Sunday Postcard Art is Retro Halloween. Our faboo hostess again is Kris Dickinson. Here is my card:

Almost 2 years ago, I made a submission for Somerset Studio's "Fearless" issue. You can see the original here. My piece was accepted and published in the May/June 2011 issue - yeah! Through no fault to Somerset's I didn't receive the piece back (they even wrote to me to see if I wanted it back as I hadn't included postage or a return request and due to whatever was going on at the time I didn't answer them, so it really was my own fault). I really liked the piece but there were things I thought I would change about it. The heart was too big and too "stiff" (if that makes sense) for one thing. Anyway, I ended up making a similar piece over the last couple of days:
I used all of the same elements, but changed the heart to a better size and shape (my opinion), and added more gorgeous red. I'm pretty happy with it, and do think I like it better than the original.
What do you think? Have you ever remade one of your own designs into a new and improved version?

This week, the theme at Sunday Postcard Art is "By the Light of the Full Moon". Again our host is the talented Kris Dickinson. Here's my card:
Skeleton stamp by PSX and "Skull Baby" stamp by Stamp Francisco. Bird was punched out from a playing card.
