Meet today's card.
I really don't like to throw away mistakes, so I tuck them away and come back and look at them with fresh eyes. That is what today's card is about.
I had inked up a card front with Bisters paint again but it didn't work for a card. Looked muddy and not very inviting. So, I tucked it away. Today, I got it out and started cutting it up until I had this lovely little piece left. I stamped the butterfly from Penny Black onto the piece and liked it.
I then coloured the wings using Copic markers and a Signo White gel pen. Ok, not bad.
I wanted the card to be clean so added scoring to the card front and popped the butterfly on top of that.
The great sentiment from Daisy Bucket was stamped last.
Glad I saved that scrap.

Oh, Karen, what a beautiful way to use something that you didn't quite love (I have more than a few of those - hehe!). Stunning card, and I love the butterfly! Just saw this on my quick visit to FB! Lydia posted it! Hugs, precious friend!
Beautiful card, you definitely put your scrap to good use. Karen x
Beautifully done. Simple but elegant looking!
Great save, Karen! Love that butterfly! The white gel pen really makes it pop! The little bit of scoring adds extra interest without taking away from the simplicity!
Lovely!!!!! I have one on my desk now that did not turn out the way I thought - will have to take another look!!! Thanks for the Inspiration!!!
Paper Hugs,

Sometimes those big scraps can be pared down to little scraps and then do the job perfectly. What a wonderful card!
Wowzers! Such an incredible effect :)
What a fabulous save, Karen, it's a mini-masterpiece! Thanks so much for playing at Seize The Birthday :)

What a great save! Love it!
You did a great job resurrecting your Blister background, Karen. I love the butterfly stamped off to the side like that.
