The 52 Cafe Cards CHALLENGE : The Whispers Boards 5

The two of my favorites

So, here they are finally, the last missing cards from the #52cafecards #MaremiWhisperBoard challenge. I did have 3 cards ready and a couple of backgrounds, too. I made them sometimes last year, I think. But then life happened (I got a job for a short period) and I was then too busy and tired to even think about creative work. A couple weeks ago I sat down and started making these simultaneously a few cards at a time. I went through the Maremi's Creative Cafe Facebook group's albums and searched for the Whisper boards that I still hadn't done. I wrote down some notes and ideas for each card. I gessoed the background base cards and some of them I stenciled, too. Then, I got creative. I struggled with some cards but in the end I managed to get them finished.

I used texture pastes, crackling pastes, white and clear gesso, glitter glues and regular glues, micro glass beads in different sizes, pictures cut from catalogs and scrapbook papers, paper diecuts, glass domes and stamps and... what else... different type of embellishment, string, chipboard and stencils. For coloring I used Faber castell Gelatos, Lindy's sprays and magicals, 13arts' sprays, Distress inks, Tattered angels' paints and my latest purchase Uni Posca markers.
