The other day, I posted this card that I created from an upcycled Christmas card I received last year. Today's card is made from the top part of that same upcycled Christmas card. The scene is just gorgeous and just didn't need anything except a sentiment really. I die cut the scene with a stitched rectangle die, stamped the sentiment in the top center and added a few metal rhinestones to highlight the sentiment.
There are all these little foiled dots in the trees and sparkle and shine so beautifully. You can see it a little better in the photo below.I love the gray/silver color in this image, so I matted it on a dark gray card stock base. It makes it feel so icy and wintery.
Supplies:
Stamps: PaperTrey Ink "Just Sentiments: Be Merry"
Dies: MFT " Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle
