tt: washi candles


Papertrey’s Transformation Tuesday is one of the best challenges ever. I love that you are able to change up a card from good to better or gal to guy AND have the chance to win a PTI gift certificate. Even better yet, we get to see design team members transform their own cards. How great is that!

 
Last year, I spotted the above image while searching through Pinterest for who knows what. Using that as inspiration, I dug through a few containers of washi tape and ended up with a couple of feminine color combinations that I used for my cards.


 
 
To help justify in some teeny tiny way my washi collection, I thought it would be fun to remake the candles card in some bright colors that would be good for a younger person. (To clarify, I, who do not fall into the younger category under consideration, like my new card. I just didn’t think a 10-year-old would appreciate the original colors as much as the brighter colors of the transformed card.)

 
Of course, as I was going through my washi, I thought it would be fun to try a card in shades of purple, too.

 
The sentiment from Party Pops is a perfect accompaniment.


Thank you for taking time from your day to check out my cards.
