Recycled Christmas Tree

The challenge for week 178 on Less is More is to use a recycled item. This did make me pause for thought - not that I don't have a lot of discarded stuff - but I seemed to be lacking inspiration! Then I found some old Christmas wrapping paper lurking in the back of the cupboard. I covered some scrap card with the wrapping paper. The embossed piece was from my "discards" box and it was already inked. The panel was cut from a card which had some marks on it. It turned out to be a quick and easy card!


Materials:-
Sentiment - Banana Frog Xmas Elegance set
Ink for sentiment - Stampin Up Cherry Cobbler

Thank you for visiting my blog - please pop over to LIM and see the other "recycled" cards.
