Recycling marathon..

Gave ten cards a new lease of life today. Here are my favourites...

This one, I just trimmed the image, inked the edges for definition, mounted onto an A6 card and trimmed to size. Mounted a greeting onto gold mirri card and raised on 3D foam.

This image was matted onto kraft and then gold mirri card onto light blue Bazzill. Greeting just stuck on underneath.

Cut around this cute image, and raised it and the greeting on 3D foam. Punched red holographic snowflakes on top of a glittery red cord wrap.

Cute sentiment, eh? Can't claim credit for it.. it was on the original card. Used some more of that beautiful vintage sheet music from lean's blog candy prize, and embellished as you see in the pic.

This image was on the back of a card (echoing a larger image on the front). I kept some of the blank white card next to the image and used Staz-on 'Dove Grey' to stamp a Penny Black snowflake on the glossy surface. Used a silver greeting from another card and mounted both on 3D foam on a black Bazzill panel. Silver mirri snowflakes completed the new setting.

Straight forward matting and layering, with some Papermania gems in the corners to glam it up a bit.

This is my favourite of the day, but the picture doesn't do it any justice at all. I used a Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' embossing folder on both the cardblank and the red panel, which I dabbed with Elzybells 'Sugar Candy' which is a lovely white pigment ink. Mounted the image (which was already glittered) and a sentiment onto 3D foam, and added a punched snowflake with a red gem.

It's such fun thinking of how to 're-purpose' an old card!
