Inside - Finished Product

Original verse has remained intact, personal message is gone, and a few new sprinkles were added to the facing page

HOW WAS IT REMADE?

  • The card had a full new insert installed (glued in place), thus removing the personal writings, both left and right sides
  • A cutout was made in the right side of the glued-in insert creating a window around the original verse so it could still be seen 
  • A new border was installed around the verse ‘window’ to dress it up, and a bit of artwork was added to the lower left corner 
  • Done!
