I was inspired by the 2RB Challenge this week to reuse, so instead of making new cards yesterday I decided to go through some of the ones I had made when I first started stamping and 'bring them into this century!' You know what it is like when your supplies are limited and you haven't found your 'style' yet....this is number two of four that I have done, they are not what I would typically do today, but I have added more on each card and this is the results....
This one was made from a DieCut Christmas Decoration which was given to me by a neighbour...I thought that sweet little face should be on a card. I added the vintage corners sent to me by one of my Twisted Sisters, Judy Kell and also a variety of flowers under the cherub...I love the centre flower, which was part of the Blog Candy that I won from Abby - it is a PRIMA and stunning, almost velvet like with a chunky glitter finish - stunning. The buttons are also recycled and were given to me by a Mum from the kids school...and those lovely MS punched branches are from another Twisted Sister Lesley (aka Marleygo) who keeps an eye on my cards and when she sees I have used a lot of the branches, butterflies or birds she has punched out for me, she sends more - God bless that girl!!!
Thank you taking the time to visit, I love reading your comments. Don't let these photos fool you...it looks like a lovely day out there...but it is freezing...around minus three thousand five hundred and twenty nine degrees Celcius - well-l-l-l, okay a slight exaggeration! LOL! God bless you!
