Altered Workshop Cards

Hi everyone! Do you remember these cards from Helena's workshop? I was tidying up in the studio and came across a few left over card bases and DSP, so decided to change things up just a bit for a different card. Love the versatility of paper crafting! ;o)

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Dies, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch, Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Peach Parfait CS, Poppy Parade CS, Baja Breeze CS, Riding Hood Red CS, Basic Pearls, Stampin' Dimensionals

***ETA OMGoodness! Check this out!!! This card was picked for top 3 at Create with Connie and Mary! Thank you Connie, Mary and your fabby DT! What an honor to be selected!!!



Morning everyone! Can I tell you how much I LOVE this card?!? The sketch is from Create with Connie and Mary (CCMC162), and once again, the minute I saw the sketch I knew just what I wanted to make! Thanks for the inspiration Connie and Mary! ;o)

Now, there are a few customized bits on this card...the 3/8" Whisper White ribbon was colored with the Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write. I find this easier (and the color is more consistent) than dragging ribbon through a stamp pad, or dyeing with Stampin' Ink Refills. Plus, it dries almost instantly after being colored with Stampin' Write's. The large doily is from the Flirtacious Specialty DSP, I used the reverse side (the white side) of the paper, and again used a Stampin' Write (Elegant Eggplant) to solidly color it in. Voila! Doilies to match ANY project! And lastly to get the varied shades of the Lucky Limeade Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch I used the Stampin' Write's again! The darkest one was colored full strength, the mid shade I stamped off once the blossom from a retired stamp and then stamped it on the Whisper White, then punched it out. The last one was left plain white.

Hope you like this card! It's a fave of mine, that's for sure!
