New Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge - Anything Goes/Recycle or Upcycle

 


We're back today on the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge with a new challenge.

This month our theme is anything goes with the optional twist or recycle or upcycle.  For more details about the challenge and to see the cards from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

Here's another view of my card:


To make my card I recycled the front of a Christmas card as my backing.  I matted this onto a piece of gold foil card and then navy paper.

I added a piece of white ribbon which was recycled from a gift bag.

The sentiment is from the Framed and Festive stamp set from Stampin' Up and I used dies from Ellipse to frame the sentiment with more gold foil and navy card.

The Pinspirational Challenge also has a recycle/upcycle theme so I'm going to share my card there.
