The challenge this week on Daring Cardmakers was to recycle. "We'd like you to do your bit for the planet and make a card using some recycled items.Yes, we know we've done similar challenges in the past, but some things are good to revisit and this is one of them - it gets us looking at stuff we might be throwing away and asking ourselves if there's some card-making mileage to be had from it.And besides, it's FREE! If you can use something rescued from Christmas rubbish (scraps from cards, decorations etc) - then you get double points! lol"
So here is my recycled card. This is where I started out cardmaking when I was a little girl. My Mum would have cut out bits from the cards of the previous year and I would make cards for my Granny's. I felt like a wee girl again doing this. Hee hee.
The backing paper is gift wrap which my Mum had Alan and I's hamper wrapped up in. The tree is from a card I received. I managed to prize it off the original card and the backing 3 D foam was left intact so kept it on. I used some glitter glue to make it a bit more sparkly. The peel off is from my stash. Hope you like my recycled card.
