Today the Twisted Sistah Challenge is to use something on your card for which the original purpose is not for card making.
I used eyeshadow to softly color my BG embossing and I cut the flowers out of some polar fleece material I just used to make a blanket.
You can sure join us today just put TSC0708 in the Keywords section.
Good Old Summertime is filled with memories of staying with my grandma in Northern ID and chasing grasshoppers and butterflies among other things. So, the old fashioned design and butterflies represent that for me.
Thank you to my Cult Mama for the bottom nestie!

Well, Terri, between the Embossed and striped BG, it reminds me of a wallpapered wall in my grandmother's parlor with a pretty framed Flowered beauty she made out of crewel!! Love how you did this and how clever of you to use eyeshadow!! Great challenge - wish I had more time this week to think even further - thanks for tugging at our brains for this challenge!! lymi

So pretty, love the dp with the embossed white c/s. I agree with Sue, it does remind me of wall paper. Eye shadow, now that was a different idea. Good thinking, Brat.
