Using rejects

This card started life as a one layer flourish card for "Less is More" this week, but I realised that when masking,  I had put the Post it notes on slightly wonkily, so I cut off the panel (straight this time) and decided to add a little inking which I did using sponge daubers and then accompany it with a die-cut golden flourish too! The sentiment is from HLS embossed in WOW Pale Gold.
It's for the Time Out Challenge
Birthday with the optional twist of adding sponging!

I love these flourish stamps which are from Stamplorations and embossed with three different coloured embossing powders... Deep Blue, Gold Tinsel and Distress Frayed Burlap.!

  2. I am always doing the wonky post it notes!! But sometimes it is worth keeping them as they can be used to make wonders like this card. I love how you used the gold die to overlap the panel and great to see you at TO
