F is for Foliage

ABC Christmas Challenge – E, F & G are for? this is the current challenge at ABC and I decided on this design using a little upcycling of an envelope. I’ve been doing a fair amount of upcycling of older store bought cards recently and it is fun to reuse something that would otherwise end up in the bin. Its amazing what one can do to reuse a design.

The envelope flap had this design on it and I simply couldn’t throw it away so I’ve used it here. I added an embossed piece done with an EF from SSS and then butted the leaf section up against it. The ribbon from GKD is placed to hide the separation line and to add additional interest. To jazz up the leaves I added some Sakura glitter from various pens.

The greeting is from an old GKD stamp set and I used a StampinUP die to cut it. The end result is a simple one, but one that looks quite pretty.

Thanks for joining me today, I appreciate you and your time more than words can express.

  6. How great that you were able to upcycle that beautiful envelope flap and how great that you’ve got another Christmas card for your stash.
