Transformation Tuesday

So, Papertrey Ink has started a new challenge (well it was a first challenge not sure if it will be happening all of the time).  It was about transforming an old card into something new.  Here is my entry.  I have cards from a long time ago, it has me thinking that I need to send the beauties out!  That is my personal challenge this year.  

I found this one and immediately knew that I wanted to bust out the guidelines two stamp set.  I really enjoyed that one and it hasn't seen the light of day for ages.  

 Here is the new creation.  I used the color throwdown color challenge found here and the Global Design project sketch challenge found here.  I am also entering this cutie in the Simon Says Stamp make your own background challenge.  So, I used the same stamp set and the same mat stack die elements.  I made it a large card and rotated the and updated my embellishments from buttons to gold enamel and string.

This was a lot of fun to put together this morning.  I'm not 100% sure about the colors (it certainly stretched me).  I think the gold touches helped tie everything in and make it shine. 

It's a good life!
