This is for todays ways to use it challenge. to recycle. well that is about all i can do these days. I recently went thru my plethera of cards and picked out several that just needed a face lift.
This particular card I made very early in my stamping life. It was so ugly, I either never uploaded it, or i deleted it.
I"m not sure what the base color is, maybe garden green. the next layer looks like not quite navy. then it HAD groovy guava with stuff stamped all over it and some image popped up in the center.
I took those pieces off! I replaced it with, early espresso and certain celery. I then added an image I stamped probably 2 yrs ago that was just sitting in a pile waiting to be used.
I did color. BIG MISTAKE! My arm is not ready for that unfortunately. I was feeling it while doing it. After all, I can barely write now, what makes me think I can color. So stupid! Stubborn me!!!
colored with old olive, pear pizazz, dusty duango, and peach parfait. then added glitter gel in certain areas.

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with your arm at the moment. I hope it improves soon - it's so frustrating when your hands are tied - almost literally. You've still done a great job with this - I know I have some old cards that could do with a new lease of life before I'd use them.
