Negatives Aren't Always Bad!

At our card club the other day, I punched out two daisies for our card using the punch from the Delightful Daisy Bundle. I am very frugal and didn't want to scrap the paper and the sentiment so I tucked it away. We had also made butterfly embellishments in the group. Tonight I was cleaning out my craft basket and came across the negative daisy panel. Earlier this morning I was looking through my Saturday challenges and saw Less is More - Shimmer #330 and thought, well, "maybe". Now, it is no longer "maybe", it is reality! I still had the glitter paper from Owl & Pussycat, plus the other side of the DSP I used yesterday on my desk. All I had to do was add a mat of Night of Navy (SU) and a Whisper White card base. As Mary would say, "Et Voila"!

This card was not only fun, but a total surprise as I was only in the craft area to clean up and had no intention of making a card. Life is full of surprises.

Thanks for looking.
