Hi everyone. I have a simple Christmas card today made by upcycling one of last year's cards featuring a beautiful robin which I thought was too cute not to be reused.
All I did was to die cut the piece with a square stitched die and then die cut the red layer using a snippet of card with the next size up to make a mat for it and made a kraft card base on which I stamped a sentiment using Versafine Satin Red Ink heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.
Thank you for your visit today and I'll see you again soon.
I am entering the following challenge:
Rudolph Days February Challenge - Anything Goes.
Snippets Playground Challenge - Where we use our snippets of card and paper etc.
That's such a gorgeous image and the perfect way to give it another life ♥ Love your upcycled card.
ReplyDeleteAn image which was certainly too good to throw out - looks good with the red and kraft you've used
ReplyDeleteA super piece of recycling Pat. I agree he’s a really gorgeous robin and deserves a new card to perch on.
ReplyDeleteI’m commenting on Sunday morning, so if you trampoline into the Playground treehouse, I’ll bring you over a nice mug of tea or coffee with a couple of hot buttered crumpets for brekkie! Xxx

A very clever idea, Pat. The image is too pretty to not use again and with your touch it is a new and beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right! That darling robin truly deserved to be upcycled and you did a really great job Pat. Love how perfectly the layers and also the red of your sentiment go so perfectly together!

It's beautiful Pat and a great job of recycling it. Now someone else card enjoy the card, Kate x
ReplyDeleteLoving your upcycled robin make ... I always think it's such a waste to just check cards away at the end of the Christmas period so well done on repurposing yours. Looks great with the cheery red sentiment too
