Transformation Tuesday with Laurie Schmidlin

Welcome to a new feature at Papertrey Ink called Transformation Tuesday.

We all have cards that don’t necessarily turn out the way we had envisioned or a project that we designed to be feminine that could be made masculine with a few tweaks. Some of you may remember the Recipe Remix Challenge from SAF 2013. It’s sort of like that (but with our own projects instead of customer submitted projects). The idea is to show a project transformed into something fresh and new.

Laurie Schmidlin is sharing how she transformed old to new today with a card she created a while ago:

“When I first created my swan card over a year ago, I wasn’t completely happy with it.  It just didn’t turn out how I imagined it should.  I made a few changes to it, including embossing the swans on white cardstock instead of dark, changing the background elements, and adding in some pastel flowers to lighten the card up a little bit.”

Supplies:

• STAMPS: Swan’sational, Lilies of the Field
• INK: Sweet Blush, Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst, Lemon Tart, True Black, Versamark
• PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Smokey Shadow, True Black
• DIES: Swan’sational, Lilies of the Field, Delicate Details
• OTHER: Gold cord, Gold detail embossing powder
