On Saturday night, after the class at The Ink Pad, I went to an engagement party. I needed a quick card and I had a rather clever idea. Remember this 16×20 canvas I painted?
Well I turned it into this 5×7 card:
- I printed out a photo of the canvas.
- I placed the photo onto a book page and doodled a frame.
- I cut out the frame.
- A bit of handstitching and a lovely card was born!
I encourage you to look around at the art you've already made and find a clever way to repurpose it!
Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely card & a great idea.

Lovely card and what a great idea to reuse our own art. I’ve heard it before, just need to do it.
