Heat Embossed Close to Nature stamp then masked it and stamped the Toile Blossom stamp to each side. Bleached out parts of the images then used a white gel pen to highlight some of the areas. I had to cut the corners off on the diagional because I messed up using a corner punch (hate when that happens). I glued on triangles to make it look like the corners were folded over. TFL

This is lovely, and you didn't mess up, you were just alternatively creative! I do like the bleaching and highlighting. Very nice. Unfortunatley, you need sympathy cards in your portfolio.

I love your happy little accident. The first thing I was impressed about, with your card, was the 'folded' up corners with the contrasting colors. The glued on triangles really look like folded up corners and I'm going to use that technique.
We never make mistakes, we are finding a different way of doing things!
