PTI MIM and TT
Took me awhile to figure out what leaves to use for PTI MIM Faux Gilded Leaves. Most of my PTI leaf dies are smaller images, but then I saw the Meadow Greens dies which I don't think have ever been used. They actually worked great!
The square Window Works die was cut from Classic Kraft & backed with black cardstock. Three leaf die cuts were embossed with gold, platinum & copper powders, arranged in a bouquet & mounted with foam tape.
I gently bent the edges up with my fingers--gives such a different look. The sentiment is from Take Three: Fall. My black Zig is my favorite to use for splatters--adds just the right amount of texture.
I really do love the PTI Transformation Tuesday challenges. This time I transformed a transformed card--haha! In May I tore apart a card from 2016 & entered this one for TT.

Old Card

It's pretty if the light is shining on it just right, but the images are difficult to see. This time I went for a totally different look still using Friendship Jar Flowers stamps & Wonderful Words: Hello die cut. I've been wanting to make something with one of Lexi's last color combos: Ocean Tides, Enchanted Evening, Melon Berry & Sweet Blush. I really do love the results.

| New Card |
The flower & foliage images are clear embossed & the dots are Ocean Tides second generation stamping & Sweet Blush. I blended Melon Berry & Sweet Blush on the word, stacked it 2 high & covered it with Nuvo Glaze.
A strip of Ocean Tides was used down the side & the flower centers are covered with Stickles. This card is going in the mail soon & won't even need extra postage.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
