transformation tuesday...

 

Morning!  It's my turn for Papertrey Ink's Transformation Tuesday.  I chose to use a card I created just a couple of months ago, using the basic design elements as my inspiration for a whole new card.

Here is my original card.  You can find the post with the supply list HERE.  I had so much fun creating this card, that I knew I'd want to try it again sometime soon and just swap out the colors and stamped images.

I used the Shape Shifters:  Square 3 die once again, layering it over a card base created with Stormy Sea cardstock.  I used the Fairy Tale Stencil Collection on my card base, stenciling snowflakes with Ocean Tides ink.

I added in Bitty Big Ocean Tides paper across the center or my card followed by die cut hearts from the Limitless Layers:  2 1/4" die collection.  

My sentiment comes from the Beautiful Berries:  Winter stamp set and over the top of my sentiment, I used stamped and die cut images from the Corner Adorner:  October stamp set.

I had a scrap of paper in my stash that tied in perfectly with the colors of my card, so I added that across the bottom.  

Hope you'll try using your own cards as inspiration...follow the basic sketch of the card, or use the same colors in a favorite card, or repeat a card using the same stamped images, but just mix up the colors a bit...you are your greatest source of inspiration!

Thank you for visiting.

2 lovely creations! I particularly like that you chose a chose a card you love and kept the warmth of the original with the cooler subtle colors in the transformation.

How did I not notice those sweet little ferns in Corner Adorner October when it came out?

I love the new color combination. Lately I have formed a new appreciation for Ocean Tides and it is beautiful as your showcase color here.

both are so pretty. your use of color is so amazing. I love the checkerboard and dots on the first one. the ferns and bow with the heart on the second one and the color combo is a perfect holiday card to send to a loved one.

oh my goodness, the cool, icy tones of this card just thrill me to pieces! Somehow I've forgotten how gorgeous Ocean Tides is. You have totally inspired me for winter birthday cards!

I wish you knew how I look forward to your posts each week. Such talent you have! I'm in awe of all your creations. Thank you for sharing them with us!

Hi again! This morning has been a treat! I'm loving both of your beautiful posts. :) I keep telling myself to pick up some extra patterned papers, you've REALLY inspired me. While I love both cards, I don't think I've ever loved Gray shades as much as the beauty you gave your newest design. And the stenciling, awesome! Thank you, thank you. I hope you have a super day! :)
