This is a double challenge card for both Our Creatve Corner which requires us to use recycling on our card...I have recycled a foil crossiant tray and run it through the Cuttlebug, the Argyle EF (thank you Melinda80 for the loan) My family have offered to help me anytime I am needing the foil tray - precious!!!!
The second Challenge is the CCEE Sketch Challenge which I am really enjoying! The fabulous image comes from Jocelyn (aka JoBear2) I saw it in her gallery and she so generously sent me a RAK, including some in the Nestie Scalloped Oval....this cute little mini is a favourite with my 3 kids...they would all like one - LOL!!!
I chalked the car, then sponged and paper pierced around the oval, the DP was salvaged from some magazines a friend was throwing out, so another recycled touch. I finished it off by adding the sentiment and adding paper piercing to it, then silver brads were added.
I am really enjoying challenges, they take you 'outside your square' and have taken a lot of decision making out of card making for me - but at other times they have also made decision making impossible - go figure!? LOL!!!
Thank you for looking, your comments make my day and are so encouraging!!
