Transformation Tuesday is a new PTI challenge. The idea is to take a card you made in the past and transform it in some way. I've had this card sitting on my desk since last June and for some reason, I don't like it that much. Maybe it's the way the berries go up and down? Or the stenciling? Who knows, but it was the perfect choice to "fix" today. We're having our 4th nor'easter within 3 weeks so this is a good day to sit and craft.
Here's the "old" card:
Here's the "old" card:
For the new card, I changed the stenciling on the background and used Hexagons inked with Soft Stone ink. I die-cut the berries in white cardstock and stamped them in different colors - Raspberry Fizz and Pure Poppy. The leaves are stamped in Spring Moss and Prairie Grass inks. I placed both in a downward position, with the right one on foam tape for dimension.
I used a thinner style Happy Birthday sentiment stamped in black ink. I got rid of the colored twine and used white crochet thread, tying it around the top. I also put Wink of Stella on the berries, which you can't see in the picture.
And the "new", card which I like much better.

Beautiful card! Love the bolder colors and the thinner sentiment! All the little changes really enhance the new version!
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely! I do like the change of position on the second one, and I see what you mean. Love your stenciled backgrounds. Perfect touch!
