Full Deck APCs #47 & 48 (8 & 9 of Diamonds)

Reminder: Shana isn't using the cards we're using; I've made lists showing what she uses and what we're using, in the comments below.

We're working on cards #47 & 48 - the 8 & 9 of Diamonds.

We're following ShanoukiArt's YouTube videos to make the cards; she's made TWO full decks and we'll take our pick as to which two we want to follow from the Full Deck Challenge #1 or #2.

For the 8 of Diamonds:

Full Deck Challenge 1

I'm keeping the link for FD challenge 2 here, but it isn't suitable for our swap; we'll all do the first challenge.

Full Deck Challenge 2

For the 9 of Diamonds:

Challenge 2 can be used but please do NOT rip it in half.

Whether ShanoukiArt does this or not in her videos:

The most IMPORTANT RULE for APCs is to have one corner showing both the number AND the suit - doesn’t matter which corner. This is NOT optional; they don't have to be bare, just need to be seen.

Your playing card must be Poker sized (3.5 x 2.5 inches) and have one corner showing. No need to copy her video exactly - make it your own, but emulate her style and the effect she's going for, as much as you can. Let your partner know which challenge you picked to do.

DO NOT put a hole in the corner of the card - let your partner decide where, or if, she wants a hole in it. If you want to make things hang over the edges, please check that your partner doesn't mind. If not using a binder clip to save them, most people like to put them into the clear playing card holders.

It's up to you if you want to use a whole deck, or just the cards you have on hand (just join those ones in that case). But, for those of us who want to end up with a full deck, you MUST use the cards that are being represented in the swap you join.

This month is using the 8 and 9 of Diamonds, so everybody will send and get those cards.
