UPcycled card - CCC

The theme this fortnight for the Christmas Card Club is Dawn's choice..."It's Only Words"  (no image). Hopefully I have interpreted the theme correctly. I am thinking it means no stamped or digital images, no toppers and no cut out images from sticker sheets etc.

OK...so fair game for die cuts and flowers and bling...lots of bling! Here is my card...

The Kraft background with the ivory flocked poinsettias is the topper from a Christmas card. They were on clearance for ten cents as Carlton cards. I fell in love with that pretty flocking and had to have them to UPcycle! I sliced off the back and trimmed down the front a tad.  I took the back that I sliced off and stamped my sentiment on it and then glued it onto the front so it sits in the diecut window. I then mounted that flush on a Kraft card that I cut to fit this size. Luckily it came with the matching red envelope as well!

 The flowers were from the Michael's infamous dollar bins but I picked up about ten bags when they were on clearance for 25 cents. Yay, an UPcycled and low cost card!!!

I pulled some of the red poinsettia flowers apart and rebuilt them into various sizes. Added some Martha Stewart punched snowflakes and branches, another left over jute petal, a few pearls, some red diamond bling and then added a jute twine bow.

Hope it fits the CCC theme!
