Upcycle card

 * Honorable mention at CASology *
TOP 4 AAA Cards
 Winner ATCAS

Hello everyone, I am back after many days. You might have seen a few scheduled posts in the meantime. I was away to Thailand for a break, thanks to my kiddos.
My daughter is back from her experience week trip, she was at a remote village in Laos, it was a volunteer trip to build houses. She is back very happy and grateful for the modern day lifestyle, which she has! she was with limited electricity, and no running water, and beds. Well...a great experience!!!
My son is still away, he will be back on Tuesday, and the house will return to normal mode.

Ok, lets move to the card now.
I have up-cycled an envelope here, which we got at the hotel in Thailand. I have a few more things to upcycle from there.

The envelops and goodie bag for up cycling


I have used the white envelop with the die cut negative of the coconut/palm leaves, I used the same teal background for it. I added it to my card base and trimmed the excess paper. The sentiment is from Uniko. A white floss on the top, and a few jewels to finish off.

The die cut negative





The resort we stayed was a coconut plantation before it got transformed to a resort, so the hill and the beach was full of coconut palms. SO I am not surprised at the designs on the resort envelops and cards. I just kept my inspiration with the resort theme for this card.
Some pictures to share my inspiration.
