PTI Redo: Time Well Spent

I love makeovers!

And that's just what we're asked to do for PTI's new Transformation Tuesday Challenge.

It's rare that I'm completely satisfied with a card. There's always some

tweeking that can improve.

This particular card I 'transformed' was done several years ago, not even good

enough to send, and begging for a makeover.

Pale and uninteresting. And what's with the orange clock???

Have to say, I've learned a bit since this card. So here's it's do over.

Still used the same 2 stamp sets: Hands of Time and World Map. 

Much more fun to look at.

Map, white embossed and inked with Hawaiian Shores, Blueberry Sky, terra-cotta Tile,

Olive Twist and New Leaf.

Lots of layering and some copper embossing powder, gave my clock face

and sentiment more interest.

I cut the center out 4 times and embossed the top layer. Also

cut the clock hands out twice, once from Indigo and once from Copper Shimmer.

So that's the Re-do. Looking forward to seeing what you all did with this 

challenge. Also looking forward to makeovers becoming a regular on the PTI Blog!

Dance in the Rain

More fun at PTI this week, with the challenge to create a 

card using multiples.

Rainy Day has multiple raindrops of different sizes,

I thought would be fun to play with.

Starting with Dark Indigo, and working outward with Enchanted Evening, Blueberry Sky and Spring Rain card stocks. Finally stamping the largest drop from Rainy Day Sentiments in Spring Rain Ink.

Because my card is square, I created an envelope for it using

Enchanted Evening Pattern Pack.

A coordinating envelope just makes the card so much more special!

Inside, more stamping, and a piece of washi,

and the card's ready to send!

Such fun to use our dies in new ways!

Play along for a few more days here:
