I had never heard the term 'upcycling' before, but it turns out that it means to recycle something and turn it into something better. I already do this quite a lot so when I saw that the card challenge on the 'Lets capture our memories' blog was to make a card by upcycling I thought I should definitely have a go.
My card is for Jonathan and I'm calling it 'pizza and diet coke' (two of his favourite things) - because it's made from pizza box cardboard and cut out bits of a diet coke can...
I used the 'Tim Holtz grungepaper flowers' idea that I learned from Jill at the last Trip down memory lane retreat plus flowers of my own design. What's amazing is that I didn't cut myself on the can once!
Anyway - I hope you like my upcycled card...
I just love this! Very creative and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is fantastic!! I didn't know the punches would go through metal like that. I hope you didn't cut yourself on the metal (I would have, ha ha!).
