My process in "borrowing" involves taking my little Empress mini die cut machine (TOTALLY recommend, by the way) and die cutting three replicates of the elements in white cardstock. Once home (and often months later) I will color them and create my cards. These elements are from an April gathering.
Because these were all cut in white I had to be creative with patterns. You may notice that many elements were run through embossing folders for texture. I also added some white trim to the clothing and used the floral wrap ties as shoe laces. You may also notice that the gait is different between the cards. The first card was assembled as per Concord and 9th's website. I got a bit creative on Card 2 by flipping one leg upside down and having her "kick" forward rather than backward. I'm not sure if I invented this but I've not seen it before so I'm claiming it. LOL!!! I also stenciled the backgrounds and added some grass with dies. All that was left was sentiments.
