Snowflake Fall Background Card with Bookmark

Hello My Dear Crafty and Stamper Friends:

How to use your winter or Christmas dies/stamps

 for other occasions?

In this sample card I use a snowflake die as a fall background 

and made a bookmark matching the card.

Pin it:

I love to re-purpose things and stretching my stamps or dies can fall into this category...
by just changing the colors and using the die in a slightly way, using it as a background...I manage to strech my Chritsmas die and give it a longer use...
Don't you think,  that is does not look at all Chritsmas?

How I did it?

I choose 3 main colors: yellow; brown and blue
sponged each snowflake in the softer shade of a color and then sponge with a darker hue the same snowflake on the center.
Repeat the same process on each one of the snowflakes, just notice that the sides have a same continuity  in the colors and in the center I changed the colors...

This die is a Poppystamps border die from the holiday 2014 release...and I am sure I will use it again this time in a Christmas card :)...
the shape of this border die is perfect to put it in a bookmark...and you will have a nice Fall combo gift to send to a friend!!!

Let me know, what die or stamp 

have you used in a different way 

as originally intended to be used ...

Thanks for the visit 

and hope I brought you another point of view ...
