Altering cards series – Garden of Thanks

Altering cards series – Garden of Thanks. Welcome to the first in the series on how to alter cards and make your supplies go further. This is the first card in the kit and as you can see, the front and back have a kind of hashed pattern on it when you open the whole card up.

I shared the allocated laser cut and elements between the two altered cards. The card below is the original design in the kit.
