OMG! I've titled this card "The Birds", because the end result is probably about 50% composed of things to fix my bright ideas that went wrong!!! What a nightmare!!! lol
Anyway, the card is for SCS Ways to Use It Challenge #WT215#, using only white cardstock. First, I debossed the white cs with the flower cuttlebug folder and then embossed it with the birds folder. Didn't come out as well as I thought it might, so to add color and emphasize the debossed images, I decided to paint some of the leaves and flowers. Well, made a little mess of that...so...cut out the rectangle with my coluzzle. Then the inside looked too plain white for my sentiment, so...used blue shimmers to watercolor inside...that was VERY slow work with my little paint brush!! Then...ok, this doesn't look that bad...now, here's the good part...stamped my sentiment UPSIDE DOWN!!! So...then I had to cut the card in half and tape it together right, cause I didn't want to have to do the whole window cutting thing again...so on and so on! LOL Hope you like it anyway, and that I didn't bore you to death! But thanks for letting me vent! Jeesh!

Awwww that stinks but the outcome is beautiful. I love the shimmer it has. You need a huge hug. Hope this is going to someone special. I can't tell you how many times I have stamped my sentiment upside down. Hehehe.

LOL, we've all had days like that, and not always with as good a card to show. I love the colouring on the embossing/debossing. I must say the only time I tried embossing something twice, the second pass squashed most of the first one, so I've never tried again. It certainly didn't look as good as yours does!

Sorry for all your troubles, but the end result was one very pretty card. You know, when I stamped something upside down or on the wrong side or just what ever, I call it my Polish card, being Polish and all. These things just happen. LOL Just ask Anne Ryan, I sent her a Polish card awhile back. She loved it! Love your card! TFS :0)
