This is my entry for today's Ways To Use It Challenge (WT225) to reclaim corrugated cardboard from a cardboard box for use in a card. And since I liked this week's sketch and color challenges so much, I made this a triple-dip challenge entry!
Exposing the corrugated layer that I wanted to use in my card was a bit of a challenge, but I persevered and ended up with a great usable piece to use as my background. Great texture! It also serves as my "kraft" in the kraft-so saffron-night of navy color challenge
Adhering the corrugated cardboard (and then adhering my scalloped squares to it) was also a challenge, but I think I got it licked with Scor-Tape and Sticky Dot continuous line. Great stuff!!
I don't have anything in the actual "night of navy" color, so I improvised. In my photo the blue portions look almost royal, but IRL they are darker.
This card will be for my Dad's upcoming birthday. Luckily he will be visiting then and I won't have to mail this one. As my husband commented, the USPS would break those buttons for sure!!
Thanks for looking!

I say this is one awesome improvisational card...love the way you got your kraft for the challenge, and those buttons are so purty they passed with flying colors...hee flying COLORS! I love the scalloped squares and that FUN sentiment. Thanks so much for playing!
