Transformation Tuesday with Melissa

It's good to be back in the craft cave, with all my what nots handy!

Saw Melissa's post on the PTI Blog. Are you playing along with 

Transformation Tuesday?

 Transformation Tuesday With Melissa Phillips 

This week's 'transformation' is to use a card you love into another

card you love. 

I enjoyed the card I made for the July Blog Hop. The colors were eye catching,

and I love working with layers!

My do again card uses the same layout, with a few new elements.

It's fall after all and the colors are beginning to change around me and my valley.

I love this time of year, when the cool down begins.

This time I used Cover Plate Deco, popping up the outside layer.

Same Shape Shifters: Oval, but with some fun map dp.

The whole sea themed stamps and dies released in July was a favorite!

Getting in a bit late with my re-do!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
