For this week's CAS scallop challenge and white/watercolor on kraft technique challenge. In keeping with the dirt cheap DD challenges this month, the bunny image is embossed on salvaged paper. It's a toilet paper core. I soaked the core so it'd come unglued, then pressed/dried it. You can see remnants of the core in front of the card... and the white scallops/inside panel are cut from copier mistakes. Someone ran off a class set of math worksheets on cs, rather than regular bond weight paper. I rescued the mistakes from the recycle bin. Can you see the ten-grid? The card's sitting on one of my last sheets of rescued copier cs.
After heat embossing the bunny, I painted diluted acrylic, and then watercolored. Not necessarily successfully. Eh! Live and learn.

So cute Brenda. Wow, you are the ultimate recycler - awesome!! The bunny is adorable and love the white embossing on the "kraft" paper When I first saw your card, I thought you had used chalk for coloring ... very cool effect.
