I sat on the sofa last night and coloured! I had a new stamp from Elusive Images and although Glenda had supplied a coloured image for guidance, I found it a challenge with my Promarkers. After three attempts I was pleased with the colours and the shading of the leaves. On I went this morning to triple embossing - but the card was too thin and the result was poor in places. I liked the image so much that I wondered if I could salvage it in some way. The answer was YES!

I stamped the image straight onto the front of the card and edged the centre fold with three lines.
A few of the leaves I watercoloured....
then added my cut down embossed image and a sentiment cut
with the smallest circle die.
So from disaster came a card that I had no idea that I was making!
Now I know why I don't like throwing things away!!

Awesome! I never throw anything away either and always manage to salvage something from my 'muck-ups' - that means I very rarely feel guilty about wasting things.

Bah! Humbug! Challenges DT
Great image, great card!
I have a drawer full of odds and s***s that I have coloured and then wondered how I was going to use them. Maybe I should dig them out!
Always an inspiration!

Brilliant - just goes to show how resourceful we are & how we can manage to utilise so many things. It's incredible how often the card we plan evolves into something quite different. xx
That is a beautiful card ans so clever to to rescue the original. The exter layer really works.
