I want to tell you a little secret. When I first glued the colorwash piece down, the glue picked up the colorwash ink and made a smeary mess all over the white border. To fix it, I peeled off the colorwash piece, flipped over the base, and more carefully glued it on that side. To cover up the other side (really ugly with smeared blue glue), I cut an extra large piece of blue cardstock (5 3/4 by 4 1/2) and glued it to the back. That's right- the blue border is on the back, not the front. The card looks clean, and I didn't waste my base.

Great card, I just love the colour and well done you for rescuing your border!! Sounds like just the kind of thing I do (the smeary mess that is), in fact my hands are a bit blue with colourwash at the moment. Thanks for joining us at TioT. Cindy x
