Challenge

Hi everyone!  It's Susan today, bringing you the weekly challenge.  I'm adapting this week's challenge off of a variety of techniques that I used on one of my cards in the October Field Guide Gallery - "Hello There".


To create this card, I did a LOT of "altering" to the focal point of the card - the wood veneer doily.  I misted the wood with brand new Mister Huey's Heirloom Blue & Calico Shine, and then dried with my heat gun.  Once dry, I applied embossing ink to the doily, and covered with clear Zing! and heat embossed.  Finally, I took a button from the kit, flipped it over, and then used one of the Crate Paper fabric brads also in the kit - snipped off the back "brad attacher" portion of the brad, and glued it to the upside down button (to create my flower/doily center).

And so - my challenge for all of you is to create a CARD this week with the focal point of the card being something that you ALTERED!  Distress, Emboss, Ink, whatever!  Just make sure that something is altered.  The more it's altered - the better!  Can't wait to see what you all make...

Love the card and all the ideas for alterations. I'm going to have to try to get really clever with this because I don't have a lot of tools to use, but I'm going to try it out.
