For my card, I went with one of my favorite things about Christmas -- sparkly ornaments on a tree. The ornament is die-cut (Prickly Pear die) from junk mail -- that was the envelope that a credit card offer came in. (I actually made 6 of this design and used the red envelope to make two of them and a similar blue envelope to make two more. The rest of the envelope had too much print on it to be able to fit the die anymore. Too bad, because I really like how it came out.)
The pine bough is from the same Prickly Pear set, and the sentiment is from Stamp Simply. Aside from the foil paper, the only embellishment is a little gold cording bow.
The PINspirational Challenge will be taking a break after this challenge is complete. Look for the challenges to return in March.

Wow, that ornament is stunning! I am going to have to make sure I take a better look at my junk mail before I throw it out! :)
ReplyDeleteCreative recycling. The ornament really stands out and it is hard to believe it is created from something that most people probably throw away! Thank you for joining in the challenge at CHNC with an optional theme of Things With Wings.
