In the process of making a few more cards for my stash I am reusing card fronts that have been donated to me for my cardmaking!!! For the one on the left I included the framed lighthouse image to which I had added a small vellum greeting which was stamped and gold embossed. Next I added a gold layer and mounted this large element to a maroon card front. For the middle card, I trimmed the floral image from the card front and then ran my tracing wheel around the edges to add texture and then added a gold embossed vellum greeting gluing both ends to the back. I mounted this image to a green cardstock layer which I had border punched on the right hand side with an eyelet punch (SU). Thinking I needed something to echo the gold on the greeting I added gold paper circle punchies to the back of the green layer behind the eyelet bumps covering three holes at a time. I layered this large element to the front of a pink card. For the right hand card I trimmed the image, added a length of purple seam binding gluing both ends to the back and then loosely tied a shorter piece to it which allowed the tails to lay nicely on the initial length. A bit of a different look than I usually get - I like it!! I added a flagged stamped greeting to the upper right hand corner - the only place it really worked!!! So a few more for my stash!! Therese
