Anything Goes – Weeks #702-703 at Word Art Wednesday This is a fairly new challenge to me and I decided to enter it with this card. In a recent speed challenge I didn’t get a good cut with this Memory box die and it was easier to cut another one than to try to fix this one. That said, most of you know I don’t throw away anything unless I really cannot redeem it. With a bit of patience and a craft knife I managed to cut around the parts that were not cut properly. I backed the piece with some holographic paper for interest and then attached it to the dark blue layer. The fish were cut with my new Gummiapan dies using scrap CS and the word is a shadow and word die (no idea of brand) gifted to me at Christmas. I used the same blue CS and a white piece for the shadow. The card is 5 x 5″.
It was good to redeem a poorly cut piece and I quite like how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you and your time.


Another awesome card with that splash die. The fish were a great choice to jump from the water. Another great save for you.

Thanks, I figured using the piece was better than throwing it away.

Johanna, this is such a great card, and to think that if you hadn’t messed up on the speed challenge you maybe wouldn’t have made this one. I love it when life works out that way. The elements are perfect and really capture the activity of a fish pond. You photographed it really well too. Often I struggle with that part. As guest designer over at Word Art Wednesday I’m thrilled that you have recently discovered their challenge and have decided to play along! Your participation is so much appreciated, and best of luck to you on winning the $30.00 Taylored Expressions Gift Card too!

Thanks, that happened by accident as a piece slipped behind the die cut when I picked it up from my leftover box.
