Rudolph Day Challenge 2024 # February

I am so happy that Helen has agreed to take on the running of this challenge. It has been the perfect inspiration for me to build my stash of cards throughout the year.

I admit I was not very prepared for this month as I have been busy laying with a new piece of equipment (see my previous post). But I do have a small recycling project completed.

A friend at church collects finished-with cards each new year, and re-mounts suitable images to sell very reasonably to raise funds for the church. She sent one to me this year that she knew I would like, and it was a simple stepper card front, with a Bethlehem scene at the back, and a stable scene on the front 'step'. I just knew it could be recycled again and I made it into two cards.

For the first I used the step cut to size to fit an A6 card, and glued some snowy sky paper behind it. Then I cut the phrase from black vinyl with my silhouette cameo machine.

For the second card I used the Bethlehem scene as the background on a square card and added silhouettes of shepherds and sheep to the front. These were images from my silhouette library, cut on my machine again from black vynil. I used a different font to cut the same phrase from gold metallic vinyl.

I shall link this up with Rudolph Days Challenge at Helen's blog.
