Our challenge today is Using It Up - thank you, Lisa! I barely knew where to begin, I have so many different pieces - stamped, dry embossed, die cut - everything you can think of. I could probably put together more than 50 cards with my leftovers stash.
In the last few months I have been loving the 3D embossing folders and have bought several. Fun to color without stamping. Thought this 3D flower was very pretty and could be colored with some new TriBlend pens I bought. I lightly misted the back of the white panel, ran it through my Crossover three times to get a really deep impression, then set it aside to dry. Once dry I colored it and set aside for later (which turned out to be today, @ 2 months later). This morning I went through my box of fronts, and found this. Then I turned to my box of frames and pulled out the green. Glued the panel and frame to a white base. Decided the soft colors would be good for a sympathy card so I colored a scrap of white with the coral pen, die cut the sentiment and glued to the card, then added three dew drops. I was a little surprised by the number of fronts, frames, etc. I have waiting to become cards.

Oh my! I Love the looks of this 3-D image without having to pop it up! Win Win in my book. You have colored this so well, PJ, and you found the perfect embossed frame. What a beautiful sympathy card~

So pretty! Such a striking card. The green frame is perfect. This reminds me of a 3D bg that's hiding somewhere in my Rubber Room waiting to appear on a card.

Wowza that folder is incredible. Great coloring and an amazing sympathy card. I know what you mean about having stuff just sitting around. I started trying to use stuff up 3 years ago and had it all down to one small tote and then got another huge box of stuff. Time to get to work on clearing out that box of stuff. LOL!
