Altered Photo Cards

[mpizzazz]

Here are some cards I worked on at our girls' weekend in South Carolina last weekend. These are old boring or flawed photos that I would normally throw away so I paint and stamp on them. Since our hostess was Pam from http://www.FirecrackerDesignsbyPamela.com , I played with her stamps on most of them.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh......I like the way you did those. I'd bet I have tons of photos that I could do something like that with......They're all digi photos, so I could print and stamp away....I love those elephant stamps you used.

Thanks

Here are a few more. The knight is from a big set of fantasy stamps by Pam called 'She Dreams'.

The last one is the big stamp from the Renaissance Club Scrap kit. It's on a picture of some rocks in Australia. Right at the end, I put it through the Cuttlebug and rubbed silver ink on it then I really liked it.

Diana, the elephant set has several elephants and greetings. The link is too long to put it in here and I don't know how to do that tiny url thing. If you click on the link in my first post, then search on 'elephants' at Pam's site you will find it. I love elephants!

these are awesome! You did such a great job and what a good idea for those less than ideal photos!

These are wonderful Marianne. I really love the silver one with the Renaissance stamp. That is so unique!

Great job on those!

wow
The bottom one is my favorite if you had not told us there was a picture under I don't think we'd have noticed. Nice work!

What great cards! I also especially love the last one--gorgeous!

Amazing!! I love them all - but I think the Renaissance is my fave.

those are simply awesome cards...love every one of them, but the elephants and the last of the knights are my favs....so ingenious!

Thanks so very much for your compliments! You make me smile to myself, Paula, I think your cardmaking is just fine the way it is!

But...wait.... there's more:

Pam asked me to do a tutorial on these photo cards for her gallery. Below is the finished card using parts of her set, A Little Bird Told Me.
