Apparently I didn't use very good adhesive as I was able to tear it apart & save the card base, black & gold strips & hello die cut. Decided it would help to use more solid stamps & I chose Friendship Jar Flowers.
All the images were stamped in Delicata Golden Glitz on a new kraft panel. For the roses I added a layer of VersaMagic Jumbo Java on top. The gold ink is so beautiful in person, but hard to photograph. So happy to have a card I can actually mail! I'm also entering CAS-ual Fridays & Die Cut Divas. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
the first card is nice, but your remake is absolutely gorgeous, greta!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could ever not like something you made Greta! The first is lovely and just a more CAS version of your beautiful transformation!!
ReplyDeleteI tend to do the same thing - I keep cards I'm not a fan of... I think it's because I don't want to give it out.. but I also don't want to throw it away either!! What a Curse!!! LOL I love the new version... The floral background is so pretty and subtle on the kraft color... Wonderful remake!

I bet the gold is fantastic in real life. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Can’t wait to try one of these challenge!
ReplyDeleteAwesome transformation. Love the new version.
ReplyDeleteyour two cards reminded me of a "him and her" version of a card - the first one is so classy and the second much more feminine and pretty - great transformation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful difference adding your background made. I have been keeping the ones I wasn't crazy about too but I have a box ready to donate. Somehow they seem to multiply when I'm not looking. Taking them apart and doing them over is a cool thing to do. That is a good challenge and you are having great results.
ReplyDeleteOh if I am not a fan of a card, it gets fixed or tossed...I don't toss many. I believe in fixing it. YOur transformed card is lovely and more girly than the original which I thought was a fab man card.
ReplyDeleteLove the masculine look to your first make and loving the feminine look to the re-make. x
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful transformation.
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful transformation...simply gorgeous with those sweet flowers.
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous delicate flowered background and touches of gold, Greta! The first card would make for a wonderful masculine card. But, I do love the second card with the feminine details, so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation, Greta. Have fun, my friend!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your transformation! The added florals are the right touch for your card.
ReplyDeleteAll that shimmer from the golden Delicata looks fabulous! Great remake!
ReplyDeleteWOW! what a transformation, both beautiful, though.

Greta, I love this transformation!! The stamped flowers are simply perfect on this card! And that shimmer! So very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow clever to do a make over and come up with this pretty card. Love the peeks of gold on the Kraft with black trim.
