Altered Embellishments

I love all of our accessories and embellishments, especially the way that you can change them up to suit your needs.  I created 2 cards with altered embellishments using the DCBD #141 sketch challenge.  One is an exact interpretation on the sketch and the second is a little variation but the basic sketch is still there.

For this card I used the whisper white taffeta ribbon and ran it through my summer sun ink pad to dye it the perfect shade of yellow.

Paper:  Whisper White, Summer Sun, Not Quite Navy, Rose Red

For the second card I decided that it needed a little bling after I had it put all the way together.  I wanted to use a rhinestone brad but do not like it when you can see the prongs on the inside of the card.  So I deconstructed the brad.  If you pull the prongs apart you can see two smaller prongs holding the rhinestone into the brad.  Just be careful when you are pulling the prongs away because that silver backing is part of the rhinestone and scratches will show up on the front.  Here is the empty brad casing.
