It turned out that I used 2 of my scraps and actually really liked my card in the end. I did a stamping the other day that I thought had gone into the bin, I had water coloured it and decided I didn't like the pale colours, I had also done a Silhouette cut file, which in the end I didn't know what to do with, they both appear here!

the photo doesn't do it justice, it's so pretty in real life and the stamping doesn't look as pale as it did on it's own!
Faith, that is gorgeous! That gold looks so rich and elegant.
