The Deck of Art challenge is where you use old playing cards as a base for altered art. Once card is chosen per week, with a theme, and results are posted here.

Here is my Wild Joker Card!
This is going to be my title card for the Deck with an explanation of the Deck of Art challenge on the back so that is why there is vellum turned out of the way on the back. There is also a layer of vellum over the front so the candy wrapper stands out more.
The wild new technique I used was the paisley which is cut from a plastic shopping bag that I saved because I love paisley. I knew I would use it for something sometime and the colors went so well with the Joker.
I also used the candy wrapper with the word Marianne on that my SIL brought me from Europe somewhere. She knew I would use it for something crafty!

Marianne, that's so clever how you used all the recycled bits, and how nicely it goes with the colourful joker. Great idea for the title card.

Paula - lovely card. Great picture and I like the writing on it. The stapled ribbons are a good idea - must remember that one!

Paula that is such a wonderful photo you have incorporated into this card.

Marianne I love the fact you are using this as the title card for your deck.

Petra another great photo being turned into art.

Sue I'll have to pull out the gesso again soon.

Gwen old books had such wonderful art in them.

Ruth Ann you have another technique that I have yet to try.

In keeping with the BOM theme--this is my aunt and uncle--and they are wild and crazy. My aunt is dressed up for Halloween with those suspenders and those "buckie" teeth. They are alot of fun to be with. This is my Mom's sister.
