I’ve never entered this challenge before but it appeals to me so I am doing so now.
A while back I had made a card for a different challenge and messed up the first stamping effort. I set that aside and made a 2nd one but I don’t like wasting anything so I wondered if I could salvage the poor effort. This is the result. I fussy cut the image out but avoided the messed up part of it. Stamp is from a GKD set and is one I love and have used quite often. I heat set the image with some sparkly lemon/gold powder. After adding some foam to the back it was glued to card front. Stamped the greeting and added some gems and really like the result. Even better it is nice to rescue a piece that was poorly done. I was waiting for the right challenge in which to enter before I posted it here.

Honestly I think it is the embossing powder I used that makes this look so good. I didn’t expect that it would look like this when I made it.

I think my nickname should be – waste not, want not. I do have to throw the odd effort out but not very often. Glad you like it.
