Christine chose the theme this time which was Snowy Trees.
A quick riffle through my box of used christmas card fronts turned up this snowy tree scene
which had the added bonus of already having a sentiment added.
I already had the following card in my never shown file as it was for a swap I did back in January.
The theme was use stencils and winter
I made the base up using acetate for the front and sandwiched the embossed card in between.
The stencil is by Imagination Crafts which I coloured in with a grey promarker. The white base card
had a fine grain effect on it so the grey showed up really well. backed onto navy pearlescent cardstock. Silver stickers were in my stash along with the blue sentiment tag. The sentiment was generated in word and I used Su's Modern labels punch to die cut out. I used blue cardstock to make the rest of the base card with.
Two more cards for the pile and still sticking to my resolution of making one card with a recycled christmas card and one using my stash of stamps. digis', die cuts and stencils.
Entering into the following challenges:
Crimbo Crackers #106 Anything goes.
Country View Challenges #39 Use a stencil.
Crafty Hazelnuts Extra # Anything goes.

As always, a marvelous recycle that fit the snowy trees theme perfectly. Can just feel the icy cold on this one. Loved the stenciling of #2...again, evocative of a brrr winter day. Love the shape of these trees! TFS & Hugs
Two lovely creation Valery-Anne, you captured the cold and snowy feel beautifully.

A great recycling of an image, and I think that the holographic paper would look supersparkling in person! Lovely corner, I too have this corner punch and works pretty!
The seconda card is stunning, you are the queen of the acetate! ;D Love the embossed and stenciled truks, great work!
