TLC931 = Recycled Challenge - recycle a store-bought card
I received a beautiful Christmas card with an owl on it and I have a friend who is passionate about owls so I made this to welcome her home after being away for the last two months.
I used a square die to cut out the main image of the owl and to cut out a piece of silver mirror cs that matches the shiny silver leaves and stars in the image. I also die cut some tiny silver stars from the same cs.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on the bottom of the card, attached the mirror cs at an angle, layered the owl image over it, and glued on the silver stars in random places around the edge.
p.s. Cards with mirror cs on them are so hard to photograph - apologies for the reflections in the angled silver sections!

That is a lovely owl and I am sure your friend will really appreciate the card. I know how you felt about repurposing that image. I have a gorgeous navy and silver card that I want to use, but just can't part with it yet.
