This year I have planned to be on a bit of a mission when it comes to making my Christmas cards. I have been saving cards for a while, and a couple of friends have given me cards - all intended for recycling. It is time to get to it! One of the biggest challenges is to find a shape to work with sketches - since I prefer to start with a sketch challenge. Also, I want to make the card look finished. I may scout around to find some good recycling ideas! I purchased a pack of these green card bases with envelopes at a Christmas clearance last year - they are 5x6.5. For this card the
shabby, vintage l
ook leafy wreath and circle are
recycled from one card.. I added Washi tape and a gold cord. I will find a meaningful verse to add to the inside. BTW, thanks to Ts. Morning for a great sketch to work with!
