Various altered cards by Kevin Saucier

Thanks to Kevin Saucier for providing these.


Kevin calls this one a work of art. This card once had a rebuilt
right bottom corner and a trimmed right edge and bottom edge to blend
the added stock. The rebuilt plug type stock was removed and the
trimmed edges restored to look like vintage cuts, tone and wear from
that era. It is doctored or one can say undoctored.

Photography type cards should not be immersed or they will spider
web and/or crack. It is very difficult to remove certain stains, marks
etc. On photo cards and I would not recommend doing anything to them
with the limited knowledge I can give. Something that has worked once
before on pen ink is diluted hair spray on a cottom swab, damp but not
wet. It should be gently dabbed or rolled...never rubbed. It's a huge
risk and again, I would not recommend doing it unless you are sure it
can be done without having a negative effect on the card surface.
I have tried this once on a photo card and it worked but did not completely remove all the ink and it still had an indentation.
