Earth Day Christmas

Hello, happy Earth Day.

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!

This 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!

I always love to see up cycled cards, I think all cards should have at least 2 lives :)

BOTH 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.

Fabulous 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.

Jo said...

Congrats 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

Two such amazing Bonnie cards. I love their simple style, it reminds me of some Indian elements. A great card.
