Carla, you know me so well. LOL. I actually only could find this card to rescue this morning, because I can't have ugly cards hanging around--I have to fix them. So this is a card that didn't even make it to getting uploaded. It's from Falliday Fest last year when we did Shaving Cream Stenciling. I stenciled the card and then put it through my printer to print the sentiment--and ended up with an ink blotch, plus the spots of alcohol ink that I got over the edge of my stencil. I couldn't use this.
Thanks to Carla's fun "Rescue Me" challenge, I cut out the image and sentiment and popped it up over another shaving cream stenciled background that I had left over. I cut out a few of the hexagons and put the background in front of some bright green cardstock. I do get carried away with color sometimes--this was one of those times.
So glad for this challenge, because I'm very happy with my results. And I really can't wait to check out everyone else's rescue missions!

This is brilliant! Your rescue works perfect! Nicely done cutting it out and putting it over some hexagon pieces. Great on this challenge with your dressed up card.

I have a bunch of shaving cream 1/4 sheets that I was only looking at as backgrounds. Thanks for reminding me that die-cutting them is a great option! Your cards look great!

Personally, I like the original better. The die cut of the leafy branch is the focus. On the remake, there seems to be so much going on that the focus is gone. Great colors on both.
