Altered card series – Garden of Thanks

Altered card series – Garden of Thanks kit. This is the second of three in the series to show you how you can make the supplies in your kit go further. The second design in the kit is a floral card base which covers both the front and back.

This is the original design of the floral card following the instructions in the kit. As you can see, the floral design covers the whole of the card base (picture on the right).

To stretch the supplies, you can cut the card base into two pieces. What was allocated in the kit for card #1 in terms of embellishments was shared between the 2 cards.
