This is my card for today's Limited Supply Challenge - to reuse or recycle something to make our card. This is also for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge which this week was to use a 2 inch strip of DP to make our card. That was the only requirement - any focal points or embellishments were OK, just no more than a 2 inch strip of DP! Blogs at Splitcoaststampers
This was fun and just the push I needed to create a quick and easy card on a very busy day!
I used a 2 inch scrap of Basic Grey Fruitcake DP for Sharon's challenge. I partially CBed my base card with the Swiss Dots folder. The focal point was a dimensional Christmas tree sticker that I had pulled off an old commercial Christmas card. I knew that recycled piece would come in handy some day! I stamped my sentiment in Brilliance Gold and embossed with clear EP.
Thanks, Dawn and Sharon, for the fun challenges today!
TFL!

This is super Carla. I love that touch of brilliance embossed gold. This is a great tree image. I wish my tree looked like that. Hope your weekend is a slower pace. Almost vacation time. We got 6.5 inches of rain yesterday. Hope you were dry. Hugs...

So pretty!! great idea--I remember growing up my mom would have us help her make cards from the year before Christmas cards--much more cut and paste in kids style!!
