So I am going to be game and share a card that almost made it into the garbage bin...LOL, but thought what the heck, might as well share it with you...
I took text paper and the My Favourite Things, Simply Scallops die, running through my Cuttlebug, cutting several layers of text paper, adhering this to an Iris folded note card. I added some lace and twine to the edge of the text paper and set this aside to work on the rest of the card. Taking a butterfly from the Antique Engravings stamp set and stamping onto white card stock, colouring the butterfly in with my Prisma Color Pencils and trimming out, adhering to a punched circle that had a light layer of distress ink, Antique Linen over the top. Taking the card once again, I adhered the circle with the butterfly on it to the card and to complete the card I stamped a sentiment from the Made with Love stamp set.
Here is a closer look of the card...
So there you have it the card that nearly entered the bin...I do hope you find something from the card to like....
Have a wonderful night everyone, stay tuned this week for more exciting news...it is going to be a fun week!!
Hugs

Such a pretty card! I'm glad you didn't throw it away!
Can't believe you almost chucked this! It's lovely!
i think your card is really lovely - great colors on the whole card - my favorite butterfly - way too pretty to put in the bin! maybe you didn't like it because it had a little more "stuff" on it than most of your cards.
Love the colors and the butterfly is gorgeous
I know why you almost threw it away but I'm glad you didn't! It really is beautiful, Joy!

Eep!! I can't believe this almost went into the bin!! I'd be delighted to have this card instead! :) You should make it some blog candy. I'm sure plenty of people would love to have it! I love those text-y scallops and your coloring on the butterfly is wonderful! That lace and twine is just PERFECT! I should CASE this card just to spite your garbage bin...
It's too pretty to throw away! It's better than some of the cards I make...can't believe that you wanted to throw it away! Tell us what you thought was wrong with it, please?
Ohh my gosh Joy, if that is the standard of your trash then I'll be!!!! Gorgeous card, maybe your crazy hectic day clouded your views of this card, it is stunning!!!
Joy, I love the colours you have used. The colouring on the butterfly is absolutely gorgeous. I am glad the card didn't end up in the rubbish. Often we are too critical of our own work. Fresh and new eyes always give a different slant to your creations. Have a great day.
Wow! I can't understand why you would ever consider throwing this into the garbage....it is so lovely!
Definitely not bin material! Love those layers of scalloped print paper!
what an awesome mix of 'garbage'!!! The colours are gorgeous and the scallops absolutely devine!!!
Not sure why it was aiming for the bin Joy! It's so darn beautiful! Stunning colour scheme and I love that lace with the twine and your beautiful text ruffles!
Soooo pretty and vibrant! :0)
