Altered Silver

The first card actually has a different design and a line of found text under that diamond-encrusted corner. I thought the card was done, but when I came upon the diamond ring, it just had to go here.

I'm happy to use that stone elephant. I've been paging past it for many months, knowing I wanted to use it, but it never previously seemed the right time. This time, it finally was. When I snipped out the gemstones in dim evening light, I thought they were red, but the next morning I found they were magenta, which just wouldn't do at all. Happily, the paper accommodated using colored pencil to adjust the wayward hue.
