That's the theme over at
One Stitch at a Time challenge blog. I chose the image 'Charge It' by April of
Stitchybear Digital Stamps. I coloured her with Promarkers and trimmed the paper in to a rectangle. I made a backing paper by placing lots of my husbands old membership cards and old bank cards in overlapped positions and then scanning them. I matted the backing paper on to red Mirri board that I bought from Joanna Sheen. The card blank is by Craft UK. I added red Card Candi down the left side and top right. I recycled a bank biro and added it to a red scroll to make it stand out. The sentiment was generated on the computer and then mounted on to a Spellbinders circle nestie with scalloped backing.
The sponsor this week is Creative Craft World who will supply 3 Promarkers to the winner.
I'll be entering my card in to the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Perfect Sentiment - Anything Goes with a Die cut
Scrap it Girl Challenge - Recycle
