A new Blog Challenge started on 8th January and is hosted by my Rainbow friend Ann along with two of her friends, Irene & Max.
They started this challenge as many of us were struggling to make Christmas cards in time for the post and decided it would be a good idea for people to make at least one christmas card a week.
The instruction was to use a recyled shop bought card from the many we had received this year. This is my recycled card, the lovely Gold Glitter Christmas Tree was on a card I received, to which I added a background using Alcohol Inks in Pesto & Currant to show depth and attached this to a 'gold biscuit wrapper' which I had eaten earlier LOL
The base card is a 5.25 square card from my stash.
Hoping it fits with what the team at Bah! Humbug! wanted.

I am also entering this card for Cynthia challenge 85 which is to recycle.
Hoping Cynthia likes it.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge

The challenge for the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge is called 'RECYCLE'. The image is one I saved from a birthday card received last year and liked it so much that I couldn't bear to throw it away. I knew that I would make it into another card eventually, so this is the result. The base card is A6 using Navy cardstock from my stash, then I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder to emboss onto Aqua Pearlised card. To complement the colours a Burgandy Organza was wrapped around the card before attaching with 3D Foam Pads the 'Recycled' Image. I am really pleased with how it has turned out.

Recycled Card & Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder

The design on this card has been sitting on mydesk for a few days saying

'Recycle Me'

This is the end result. I mounted the image onto a piece of Aqua Card which I had put through my Cuttlebug using Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. To make the image stand out I then attached a piece of Burgandy Organza Ribbon behind the image, then the whole piece was put onto Navy Blue Card.

I am pleased with the end result and it just goes to show, us crafters don't throw anything away.

Thanks for looking, Christine
