If you've never tried altering a store-purchased greeting card, I encourage you to give it a try. It truly makes you look at cards in a whole new way. I did so for a blog swap sponsored by a friend of mine. We created three and received three in return. I dug out my beeswax (which is never far away in my art room!) and added just a few layers of tissue to the already Autumn-like card as well as pressed leaves and mica bits. The lady is from D.J. Pettit and the tree is chipboard. I recreated the card into "something new", the theme of Mixed Media Monday this week.

What a wonderful idea--a way of making your own unique greeting card--I love it!!
Great idea. Love the results!
It's a great idea. I'm one of those people who often buys cards and keeps them because they are so pretty and I feel will inspire me somehow - then I end up with box loads!!
What a great idea! I have loads of "rejects" to play with. What you did with this one is so inspiring. Great work!
Heather, it looks wonderful, love the colours.
Wow, Heather--amazing! (I've wanted to use beeswax, but I'm afraid I'll get burned!) I wonder if it's that hard to work with...Your card is wonderful!
Hugs from me,
Cindy Adkins
superb Heather...so bright and happy!!
Beautiful card that fits so well with the theme - I love the idea of using an old greeting card and am wowed with the outcome. Wonderful Angel tags too! Kristin :)
What an incredible card! I love the warm, sunny colors.
Beautiful card! You've inspired me to give this a try.
Those cards are stunning. I'm adding beeswax to my Wish List!
Ah, Heather - what a clever idea, and what a wonderful result you achieved. I'm going to be on the lookout for cards to alter now, LOL! Diane
