Transformation Tuesday with Melissa Phillips

March 27, 2018      Papertrey Ink      Leave a Comment

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.

Melissa Phillips is sharing how she took a card she created with a soft color palette and transformed it with a darker, bolder color palette:

“What a fun challenge, taking a card you may or may not love and transforming it into something similar but different. For my transformation, I took a card created in a shabby, pastel color palette and created a second in a darker color palette with bold contrast. There are so many ways to transform our creations, I can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with.”

Supplies:

  • STAMPS: Especially for You and Penned Elegance
  • INK: Ocean Tides, Olive Twist, Hawaiian Shores, Spring Moss
  • PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Ocean Tides
  • DIES: Wine Bottle Tag II, To the Point Edgers II
  • OTHER: Versamark Watermark Ink, white embossing powder, Shabby Green Embossing a Enamel, seam binding, vellum, sequins
