Recycling...

For today's card, I've been recycling the images of an old Christmas card to make a quick Christmas card, since I still have a few to make. I cut them out and glued them onto a strip of green from the same card. I placed this on two overlapping card layers (a birthday present from an unknown brand) that I cut to size and dabbed with some distress ink (Scattered straw). The pearls are done with a Viva Perlen-pen.

For the layout I used this week's sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

CAS Christmas wreath

Today, I'm showing you a clean and simple card.


The sentiment is a free TlcCreations digi that was made available through the Aud Sentiments challenge blog. I printed it on a piece of white Papicolour cardstock. The wreath was cut out from the same white cardstock with the Silhouette cutter and then coloured randomly with Spectrum Noir pens in different shades of green.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

LIM – Colour: green

WOW Magnum and Lily

This week's Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT challenge seemed like a perfect opportunity to ink up another Magnum stamp from Ladybug Crafts Ink that has been waiting for this moment for a couple of months.


I coloured the image (Sledding Magnum and Lily) with Spectrum Noir pens and added some glitter glue on the hats and snow (not really showing on this picture). At least the glitters on the snowflake frame, which was cut out with my Silhouette is clearly visible, lol. The round sentiment is Cuddly Buddly digi. The background was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
