I chose a very simple card to reconstruct and made minimal changes to give it a new "outlook." I added some subtle sponging, two more layers, and a few Stampscapes birds to reconstruct my Simple Lighthouse card. I even used a light gray Copic marker to shade the side of the lighthouse, but the whole card is still CAS.
Since I am in the middle of a series of eye surgeries, I can't see well enough to line things up straight. This my second attempt at those layers, but they're still crooked. I also can't tell whether the photo is in focus as everything that I see is out of focus. (I should be able to see better sometime before Christmas.)

This is wonderful! The sponging is beautiful and your layers look great!

You reconstructed a fabulous card! I am amazed that you did all this with blurry vision. The layers look straight to me, but I don't always get them straight myself. I like the added coloring and birds. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing and caring!
