Holly hosted the Dirty Dozen Alumni Gallery Reunion this month and she challenged us to take a card from the very first page of our galleries and re-do it with 3 subtle changes to improve it.
Um...the first page of my gallery is from 5 years ago! This was quite a challenge! I tried to stay true the idea of subtle changes and here's what I came up with. You can view the original card here Angel Thanks by Jami at Splitcoaststampers
I had trouble with the lighting in this photo...the buttons actually match better IRL. Since I still have this 2003 SU stamp set I decided I might as well go ahead and use it. Bling is from Taylored Expressions (Zva flourish and Tiny Twinkles). Image is stamped on Shimmer white and colored with copics, layered and popped up on foam tape.
