RISE AND SHINE!

Hello!  
"Repurposing."  My spell check says that isn't a word--yet!  Definition: an object that is reused, meant for a different purpose and made into an embellishment.  This card repurposed pop-tops (no, not beer tops, but beer tops would work!) to hold the ribbon and the feathers came out of an old pillow.  I love that pillow.  The rooster stamp is a win from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, colored with Prisma Pencils and pop-dotted on a Spellbinder's "Lotus" die, a gift from Chrissy!  KKS sent a very nice package of stamps for their February blog hop win.  I still have several more to use!  They are really fun and good stamps.  Thanks again KKS!



Bye bye for now.  I'm looking forward to entering this fun card into a few challenges, listed below.  Wishing you all the best of days!
