It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
Can you believe it is June 1st? This year is flying by!
The lovely Jan is our hostess this week and she has a fun Theme Challenge for all of us. "Recyclin is In" and we want to see how you recycle an item to make your cards.
I loved this beautiful Christmas card I received from our own Elizabeth. It was full of wonderful Christmas cheer. I decided to make a 5 x 7 card with it. I added a piece of Stampin Up Botanical Textures DSP to the background. Then I added a black panel and trimmed the corners with a corner rounder. I trimmed the card down as small as possible without losing any of the details. I added more bling around the ornaments. It was so easy to make this card and so fun to repurpose this lovely Christmas card! Thank you, Elizabeth!

Such an elegant card to begin with, so it's a perfect one to send on its way to someone new in the holidays. I love the dsp and black layers you added, Claire, and of course, a little more bling!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! What a nice idea to re-purpose a card you loved receiving! The DSP is in keeping with the elegance of the original. The corner rounding picks up the round baubles. Lovely idea, Claire. Have a great week. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am honored Claire! Very fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to share the love - repurposing something you enjoyed receiving first time around! Love the additional layers Claire - perfect!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to repurporse Elizabeth's card! I love the baubles and bling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card to recycle, Claire! I love that you are passing on the joy this card gave you to someone else! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great card to recycle and I love how you changed it up by making it a 5x7 and adding the extra DSP. Great take on the challenge, Claire
