"Butterfly Silk" A Special Wish Card

I'm losing steam due to having limited supplies on me.  Unfortunately, my scrap items in storage aren't convenient for me to access often, yet buying more just doesn't seem prudent. I just can't do it because I know how much I have in storage. Sigh!

I don't do well planning ahead, but in order to avoid unnecessary expenses, I'm going to have to schedule a good chunk of time to access my storage soon to exchange/grab new scrap supplies in order to keep feeding my creative mojo.

Upon seeing this new week's Featured Stamper was Rokale and her Asian Lady card in her gallery, it motivated me tonight to make do with one of the extra images that Imke sent me for the January Mystery Image Swap. This was my first attempt at coloring, but didn't like the lack of blending of her kimono or the way I colored the sleeves.  So I used my 2nd coloring attempt for that final card.

I had to find a work around not having enough white clean space on the cardstock Madame Butterfly was stamped on, so I ended up attaching the left over greeting that also came from Imke on the top left corner to hide my practice marker strokes.

The gold cording...sigh, I have reels of it in my storage.  Today, while at a family baby shower, I salvaged this small piece of gold cording from a gift wrapping discard, lol, and repurposed it for this card.

Yep, slim pickings are what I'm resorting to.  But I got one done for SCS FS473 Challenge.
