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 the first 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 is my favourite of the four. I added the stamped image, which I had cut around and sponged then added, lightly, some clear Kindy Glitz randomly along the branches for added dimension. I then tore the BG paper and sponged it, adding an extra strip along the base of the tree - for a final touch three buttons were added . This card is so much nicer and has more 'EVERYTHING' to it!
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!

Oh, Linda, this is so creative. It looks like you are looking out a curtained window at a tree. Did you intend it that way or is that just how I saw it. It's fabulous and so interesting. A really cool card Linda!! TFS!
