Well done for persevering. I'm not sure what it looked like in reality, but when you tore the plastic off after you took it out of the minc machine I thought it looked amazing. The tear of white against the foiled background looked really impressive. The card you've ended up with is lovely, a good example of different techniques. Yes it might not be your best work, but you've probably learned more from this than from a project that worked exactly as planned, and you have ended up with something that actually looks really pretty. So don't be too hard on yourself. You've done well. Quick question - have you ever watched Kristina Werner's series on blending Distress Oxides? She did it last year some time, and did an update with the new colour that came out last month. I rewatched it last week and did some blends of my own. It was fun to see what I could come up with using my limited oxide colours, just playing around and seeing what goes well together. It's a different sort of resource to the swatch cards. I'd suggest checking it out, you might get some inspiration for a memorydex background or something. Stay safe and have a great week.
Thanks so much Anne-Marie! When I pulled the plastic off, the tear was actually really really thin and wasn't going to do well which is why I ended up cutting it instead. I certainly learned a lot from doing this one, which I'm always happy with. I have looked at it, but not in great detail. I need to go re-watch them. Thanks for the reminder!
I love it! I wasn’t so sure when you laid down the deep colours on take 2. But they were mostly covered by the end, so no problem. Absolutely fabulous 🌟

Thanks Terry. I love to experiment and just see what happens!
I also liked what you had after you tore off the paper. I thought the white streak added contrast.
I actually liked that too Charmaine, but it made the paper too thin :( Maybe next time I'll mount it on another piece and leave it that way!
