I had so much fun with this week's ScrapTiffany challenge. We were challenged to redo an old project, so I dug up this beauty from 2003. It honestly is one of my first 5 cards I've ever made.
VersaMark ink was my current obsession. I don't think patterned paper existed, at least I didn't know about it. I did not own any ribbon, so this crepe paper thing came from a wreath I made for my first house. Oh, and Crystal Effects was the hottest product out. I used it to give the little leaves a glossy dimension. And what do you think of my distressing? The torn paper look was my "go-to" technique. Oh, the memories!!
So, on to my re-do:
I just love the invention of gorgeous patterned paper..... and fancy ribbon..... and distressing tools.... and distress inks... and distress stickles!!!!! I love this hobby!! I did use one old school product: CHALK! I chalked in the leaves because markers would have been too bold. I like the result and will probably use my chalks again soon.
You've got to try this challenge. It was such a blast. And don't forget about the DT Call or ScrapTiffany.
Cute cards girlie!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the evolution of the idea and the card! That is a fun challenge! Did you see my giveaway for May? Was thinking of my two super cricut friends, you and Britten!
ReplyDeleteWow, quite an evolution, but they are both really impressive! I adore the touch of twine and lace in the second, as well as the patterned paper.
ReplyDeletethis is fabulous, what a great idea to go back to an old card and redo it.....have a wonderful weekend!
