Recycled New Card

 This is the last day of hot and humid weather - at least for awhile. It felt like over 100F today but overnight and tomorrow it will be plummet to half that! This has been the weirdest weather all year!

Several friends drop off their greeting cards to me. I used to avoid using the front and pretty much just used the sentiments but then I realized I was wasting the best part. Now I love to recycle these old greeting cards. They never look anything like the original - but that’s the point really.

Here’s one of my favourites.

                             

This image was just part of the overall design of the card. I die cut it square and the maroon is from the back of the card. Slim silver peel-off strips were added around the small square and then silver corner peel-offs were added. Silver peel-off dots were added to the centres of the flowers. They don’t show up very well in the photo but in real life they sparkle.

    The word was die cut from the left over maroon. The card ended up almost 4.5” square. I didn’t have any envelopes that size so I used my envelope maker to make one.

    That’s all for hot and humid…but we did get a thunderstorm rain this morning…. Wednesday, September 21, 2022.

Cheers
