Actually I think it was yesterday, but I'm still celebrating.
Are you scratching your head wondering what a Christmas has to do with Earth Day?
It's an up-cycled or recycled card that I received last Christmas.
I worked perfectly for the Jingle Belles Challenge
I got a twofer out of it too.
The camera did a better job on catching the gold embossed trees on this one.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Always love a good upcycle and yours look amazing, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteGreat re-cycling and the gold and green looks so beautiful on both of your wonderful cards x.
ReplyDeleteThis image just grabbed me and I laughed before I read your description and went to see what awesome tree stamps those were! Love that you got two cards out of it. I had no store bought cards last year to use. Love these!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! love the recycle very much
ReplyDeleteI always love to see up cycled cards, I think all cards should have at least 2 lives :)
ReplyDeleteBOTH are gorgeous! Love the colors on that first one. The second looks like a framed piece of art. Beautiful!

What a great way to up-cycle for Earth Day Bonnie! I love how both of your cards turned out. Both being so beautiful! I have been taking some of last years cards and turning them into up-cycled cards as well. Only mine don't look as nice as yours! lol But at least I'm up-cycling I guess. Hugs, Brenda

I'm fascinated with your cards, Bonnie. So artsy and eco-friendly.
ReplyDeleteFabulous upcycling, Bonnie - love the fact you got two cards out of one. I completely missed doing that Jingle Belles challenge - that's too bad since I have a bunch of commercial Christmas cards that I'd love to upcycle.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the upcycling. You've done perfect designs for these earth slash christmas cards! What a wonderful idea, now why didn't I think of that! Both beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteTwo such amazing Bonnie cards. I love their simple style, it reminds me of some Indian elements. A great card.
