Vintage before and after

 

 

BEFORE

AFTER

 

I really wasn't quite happy with how this card came out yesterday... I had a brainwave today, so I modified it slightly. I'm much happier with it now! The colours are much more unified, and the punched piece is no longer 'floating' in mid-air... and the butterfly serves more purpose too, because I carefully tucked the new sentiment block underneath the wing.

Card with stamps

Somebody RAKed me the crocheted ribbon ages ago. I think it was meant to be a bookmark... but I didn't really have a use for it so it sat in my 'miscellaneous' drawer waiting. The challenge for this card was to make a vintage-style card, and the lacy crochet made me think Vintage, so I finally put it to good use.

Altered Diecut Challenge

Here's a card I made tonight for the 'altered diecut' challenge on Winterhaven. I used a set of nesting diecuts and stamped them (and the card base) with stamps from a Heidi Grace set. It needed a little something more so I trimmed the largest size diecut into a border strip and added brads and a silk flower.
