From Bad to Good


From Bad to Good
Originally uploaded by HikerCynthia

This card started out fine, went downhill fast, and then emerged slightly victorious. I stamped the little 'weeds' along the bottom.

Good.

Then I stamped the big daisy on velum, colored it, cut it out, and attached it to the card.

Bad.

The velum is slightly off-white, so it didn't match the white card blank. And it just hung there, in air, among the little weeds and leaves.

Bad.

I thought all was lost until I thought...eh...why not frame it?

Good.

I used two Nesties to cut out the frame shape. And then slapped it right on the card blank. I also sponged a bit of Distress Ink around to give it a sky.

Better.

I used a second frame on the inside for the sentiment. This card got turned around from the scrap heap to the mailbox! :-) Never give up on your cards!!
