Hi, Friends........
It's the last day for this fortnight's Christmas Kickstart Challenge with the adorable theme of "Moves on Hooves". I don't know if Jo made that phrase up or not, but I find it such a fun and amusing Christmas challenge theme.
I really hoped to use a neglected stamp for this challenge, but none of my overlooked Christmas critter stamps were showing their hooves. It's not a requirement that you can see their feet.....I just *wanted* hooves showing....or at least lower legs!!!....for this fun theme.
So instead I went to my Christmas stash and found a lovely patterned envelope I had saved from a card a neighbor sent me in 2016. (I could still read the postmark!) I wish I had taken a picture of the envelope before I started slicing and dicing to turn it into a card!!! I love the desert colors and the image of Joseph and Mary on their way to Bethlehem.
Supplies used include:
My Favorite Things Die-namics - Stitched Square STAX die set
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Unity - "Wishing you a blessed Christmas" from Unto Us
Versafine ink in Majestic Blue
Spellbinders - Holiday Tags die set
Scraps of solid cardstock from stash
Old Christmas decorated envelope from stash
Distress Inks in Tattered Rose and Hickory Smoke
Hope you liked this card in the non-traditional colors. Thank you for stopping by today!!

Amazing card, love how you recycled the scene and the bauble on the envelope. Fabulous earth tones, this card is just perfect for any recipient, but I think especially for male!!
ReplyDeleteFab to recycle - one of my favorite things to do - thanks for dropping this off at Mod Squad - have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so gorgeous and I love that silhouette image.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful recycling job. I like the muted colours, and I always love silhouettes against an interesting background. The Spanish post office doesn't like decorated envelopes but I like yours! Kate P. x

ReplyDeleteWow, just look at you. Upcycling and re-defining like a BOSS!! I'm glad I'm not the only crafter who recycles and saves nice envelopes. I save plain colored envelopes for die-cutting because most are not fancy like this one. Beautiful, non-traditional colors and a lovely image!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and your envelope envelope is very pretty.
