La-La Land's Weekly Wednesday Challenge 36 - Altered Embellishments

La-La Land Crafts has another challenge for you.  Our hostess, MAUREEN, challenges you to alter an embellishment on your project.  Here's what I came up with:


Can you see what I did?  Look closely . . . Okay, maybe I have to explain how I altered my embellishments.  I used Easter Dress Rosie for my image on this card.  I cut her out with my Circle Nestie.  Instead of using my Scallop Nesties, I used my Prima Flowers to create the scallops.  Here's the backside of the cut out image.


I tried to alter one more embellishment in my project. 


I saw this garland at the local craft store, Ben Franklin. I was drawn to the garland for it's vibrant color and uniqueness. Yes, I'm always on the look out on how I could use different items in my crafts.  Well, I took the back piece off and used the straw flower with the button for accent.  I saved the straw and ribbon to wrap around the card.  And there you go . . . my altered embellies!  :)

If you're up to the challenge, come join us!  Since Maureen used Birthday Cake Maya on her card, you can pick her up at the Online Store for 20% off only for this week of the challenge!
