turning a mistake into a card

Good morning! I hope that you've all had a great holiday weekend! Today's card got ruined while I was making it. Not that you'd notice now. I had just finished up my card and was very happy with it, I love the color combo and the embossing, then I took a sip of my water from my water cup with a straw...and promptly splashed 2 big drops of water on the red part of my card! Even after wiping it up it was drying darker than the rest of the card. So instead of throwing it away I took my brayer and inked it up with versamark, then rolled it over the entire embossed cardstock making the real water stain disappear plus it made the houndstooth embossing more prominant. What a save! So just beacuse you make a mistake doesn't mean you have to waste paper, sometimes just adding some stamping or adding a new embellishment can save the day, or the card in this case ;)
