transformation tuesday...

Morning!  I'm here with Transformation Tuesday and Papertrey Ink....such a fun concept!  Today, I've taken a card that uses florals to create a wreath, and transformed that wreath using streamers, stars, confetti, scripted words, balloons, etc.  

I had lots of fun creating this transformed card for you and hope you'll give it a try yourself.  I started with the Birthday Strings stamp set, which contains the fun, scripted, sentiments.  I curved my sentiments using my MISTI stamping tool, so that I could start forming the shape of a wreath.  

After I had those stamped, I used streamers from the Birthday Balloons stamp set as well as confetti, and tiny stars.  I love how you can build and layer using different colors of ink to create fullness and dimension.  I added in some larger stars from the Stars & Stripes stamp set, stamping in a softer color, so they'd blend into the background and not cover up my sentiments.

Lastly, I used the Birthday Balloons stamp set and the coordinating Birthday Balloons die to create a couple of larger elements that I could layer in order to create a bit of of height and dimension.  All that was left was some Bitty Big Mint Julep paper across the bottom, seam binding, and sequins.

Thanks so much for visiting!
