Transformed BD Card
Another last minute entry--this time for PTI Transformation Tuesday. I'm having such fun picking cards to redo. Some weeks I choose a card I didn't like, but this week I picked a card I like.
I need a birthday card for a young female relative & wanted to use the hexagon coverplate for a more modern look. It's been awhile since I made a smooshed Distress Ink background, so I picked 3 colors I think she'd like: fired brick, dusty concord & salty ocean.
To be honest, the panel didn't thrill me. Before starting over I put the die cut over the panel & really liked it--yah! The panel was sprayed with silver Glitter Dust to make it a bit more festive. The hexagon die cut was stacked 2 high. I stamped the sentiment from Happy Hexagons on a scrap of the same watercolor paper, sponged lightly with salty ocean, matted it with black cardstock & attached it with foam tape. My black Nuvo Drops plugged up, so instead I went back to black Pico Embellisher which worked great! Just tied on some black cord to finish it up. I'm also entering CAS-ual Fridays, HLS Watercolor challenge, SSS Monday & SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

What a great transformation! Thanks for playing along with us at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! I love it when I’m not really thrilled about something but then when I pair up with something else it takes on a whole new life. That black is striking. Thanks for joining us last week for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

I love your modern updated CASE of yourself, Greta! I think the panel turned out gorgeous, but agree that the black cover really brought it to another level! And IRL, I'll bet it is even more stunning with the shimmer! She will love it!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteAs always I love both of your cards! Glad you didn't throw out the panel but tried it with the die! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these, Greta! But the last one is soooo fabulous! It reminds me of a really fancy art piece that I've been eyeing for some time for our dining room! Gorgeous colors and tones!!
ReplyDeleteLove both cards Greta, but that smooshed panel really stands out for me.
ReplyDeleteI think I need that hexagon cover die in my life. It really POPS against your background! Thank you for playing along with the Calling All Sistahs Encouragement Challenge. Hope you'll play along with the new one starting on the 18th.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this juxtaposition of dreamy BG (love those colors) and geometric!
