The collage on this card I'm afraid is in the background and the stamp is already a collage so I can't take credit for that part although it is stamped more than once. The rest of the card is basically made up up leftovers. The purple pieces are from another card. I had stamped a background image on the purple, which was fine, but when I covered it with ultra thick embossing enamel it became too dark and not really noticeable, so into a pile to be used later. Today is later. I used one piece to mat the main image and embossed the thank you on another piece for the side. However, when the embossing paste was dry I went to pick up the piece and knocked it a little and a crack appeared through the middle. Now what to do? I couldn't repair the crack so I decided to crack the whole piece.The flowers were a previous experiment in coloring on black that I cut and mounted onto a scrap of wild wasabi that had been embossed with the textile folder. Stamped the butterfly and cut it out and popped it up, added the dew drops or robin eggs (whatever they are called), and then embossed the outside edge. Voila, there you have my wild collage thank you.

Very pretty. I love hearing the dismaying stories of other people's mess ups as I have SO MANY of my own. You turned yours around into something beautiful. Great job.
