I've managed to combine both elements into this card by recycling an old Christmas card with a green backing card and a couple of red felt mittens on it - definitely couldn't throw this sweetie in the bin so had saved it to be reused! I have matted the topper onto a piece of red mirri and then green cardstock which has been run through my die cutting machine in an embossing folder. The base cardstock is a green square card and, again, this went through my Joy in the Swiss Dots e/f. The border was also from the old card and the sentiment is computer generated. I just needed to add a piece of green ribbon to finish the card. Hope this is okay for my first challenge................Thanks for dropping by.
It's more than okay Karen - it's fabulous and what a great idea combining both elements of the challenge. Thank you so much for joining us this month.
