Upcycling for Jingle Belles

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


This was super quick and easy.  I cut the image from a store bought Christmas
card I had received and popped it on a card base.

Challenges:
Jingle Belles - Use at least one recycled element




Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Before I started reading I was picking my jaw up off the floor and wondering how you did that background and gazing at the awesome coloring of the 3 wise men...then I read that you upcycled a Christmas card you had received. What a perfect way to come up with a lovely, lovely card!! Love it!! :0)

that card was way too nice not to be upcycled. I'm taking a mental note of the background :)

No wonder you kept this and reused it Bonnie....It is stunning x.

It is always good to use something more than once, great idea, just don't send it to the person you received it from! Or maybe you could make a thing of it and see how many times it can be recycled into a new card xx

You are so clever, Bonnie! I love the details on your scene and how easy it was to create this beauty! xx

This has upcycled beautifully Bonnie. Great to use some cards received last Christmas and redesign a bit and send them on next Christmas. x

I'm a big fan of upcycling those Christmas cards, Bonnie! This one is just too cool for the recycling bin!

This card looks like it took a long time. The three kings look beautiful and the background is simply stunning. Is the background also part of the recycled card? The addition of sentiment banners changed the old card. Such a smart way to get a new awesome card!
hugs,
