GOLDEN CHRISTMAS

Morning Everyone,

I hope you've had a good weekend.  The temperature has certainly gone down here with Saturday being the coldest day we've had for a long time.





I've made a quick card here by upcycling a card received last year.  I don't save many, but the ones I think I could do something with go into a drawer.

I cut the gold glittered tree and sentiment out with a stitched rectangle die and glued it onto gold mirri card.  Another stitched rectangle was cut and I added four small strips of mirri card to this, glued it onto a hammered white card base and added four gold gems to match.  This was a super quick make, I think the part that took the longest was deciding on the layout!

I would like to enter these challenges:

October Rudolph Days - Anything Christmas
ABC Christmas - V for very quick
Allsorts - Pearls and/or Gems
Crafter's Castle - Winter/Christmas
Pixie's Snippets Playground - All pieces except the card base were snippets
CraftyHazelnut's Christmas - Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday - Sparkles

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I hope you will be able to leave a comment, they are much appreciated.  Have a good week all.

  8. Wonderful upcycling Lynne - a really elegant card. i totally agree that with upcycling like this it often takes longer to fathom out what we want to do than it does to actually make the card!

    Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground.

    Hugs
