peace on earth (day)!

we're still celebrating cards made with re-cycled, re-purposed and up-cycled elements at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and there's still plenty of time for you to join the fun! this week i had a blast playing with paint chips... no salsa required, lol!

christmas trees cut from benjamin moore paint chips using echo park's "story of our christmas" tree die; snowy hills made of collaged vintage text paper scraps covered with part of a doily; patterned paper: sei; glittery snowflake stickers with very visible plastic backing: from the dollar store; sentiment diecut: pebbles; glossy kromekote cardstock: the paper cut; adjesives: staples brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, scotch gluestick, sewing machine

i'm not sure why i love this little forest of trees sooooooooooo much... but i really do... so i didn't want to bring in too many other elements, i made a hilly foreground (vintage paper scraps covered in part of a doily) and a snowy sky (a scrap of ancient SEI paper and half a packet of dollar-store snowflakes) popped on a diecut sentiment and called it day!

there are loads more eco-friendly masterpieces in the earth day readers' gallery, not to mention a brand new, rather fabulous card from stephanie over at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ won't you drop by and visit those now? ♥

  5. I love it too! and the doily hill, the fab use of dollar store snowflakes and paper scraps too. Perfectly Lauren-y and lovely (though that is quite redundant, no?)
