For my card I used Snow Butterfly
 
I coloured the image using Promarkers.
I fussy cut the image and the rabbits so that they could be placed in different places alondide the image.
The corners were made by cutting a large snowflake into four ( I think it’s a Tonic die, if not it’s a Tattered Lace die).
The beautiful paper is from a Bearly Mine digital set – no longer available, to which I added some glitter.
The sentiment is an from artypants Christmas sentiments and again I’m not sure if they are still available.

ATG / Twist Reuse / Upcycle


Good Morning,
Today we have a brand new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create.

As always its Anything Goes with the Optional Twist of Reuse/ Upcycle
Here is my project for the challenge…

Before


After





( Bride and Groom's names blocked out for privacy).

This project was very much a labour of love. My Goddaughter is getting married in a few weeks and wanted a vintage basket for guests to deposit their cards in.
I had an old picnic basket hiding in the cupboard under the stairs which was redundant because of our super cool bag / picnic set.
The straps were removed; it was relined with pretty floral material; a few handmade embellishments added and the basket is transformed. Both she and I are delighted with the result.
I would like to enter this project into the following challenges….
