Less is More - don't scrap it

This week's Less is More challenge is to use up some of your paper scraps.  Great idea, I'm sure all of us have one (or more)  of those shameful avalanches of scraps.  I've picked the top paper from one of the heaps and used it with my new Waltzing Mouse Frame-It set, which has 2 frames, sentiments and a couple of motifs including this leaf.  I used Wow Gold embossing powder for my leaves then added a leaf border along the bottom of the card.  A scrap of gold mirri card is behind the border.
If you are wondering why the border is so close to the wsentiment, it's because the border was punched out to remove a tiny smear of ink :).

I was so pleased to read that you didn't scrap your card because of a smear of ink, but created the border instead! Brilliant.
Super job Anne... and it was great to see you yesterday, roll on the NEC!
Thanks so much

Nice rescue but we wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told us! Might see you at the NEC if you and Chrissie are off there as so are we.
