Hi, Friends......
I am here to share a pretty card I made with some upcycled items. You might already know how much I love Graphic 45. I happen to be on their mailing list and occasionally receive magnificent brochures in my mailbox. They are waaaaaaaaaay too gorgeous to throw away, so I did what any thrifty papercrafter would do: I made a card with one of them! :) This one happens to be advertising their elegant "Love Notes" collection.
I also scavenged a beautiful gold embossed liner from the base of a bakery cake. This coated foil surface peeled away perfectly in one piece from the heavy cardboard the cake had been sitting on. I glued the foil onto cardstock and made a die cut for this card. LOVE!!!

Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
