Upcycled Envelope.

By
This morning after opening my post I proceeded to dispose of the empty envelopes, that is until I discovered this


This gorgeous leaf design was hiding inside one of my envelopes. Now the challenge this week over on Make My Monday is Flowers and Leaves so I decided to use this in my Midweek Motivation piece - take a look


The main image is a Crafty Individuals stamp, stamped in black archival ink and sponged with some Stampin' Up inks. The cut out flowers are from the S'U set Everything Eleanor.

I shall be entering this card into the Gingersnaps Creations 'Glorious Greens' challenge.

    This is just amazing. Now I'm wondering what kind of wonderful patterns I've thrown out through the years... *sigh* ;D

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!
