Recycle that paper!


It is always fun to incorporate recyled items into card making. It is just one of my many efforts to save adding items from our big landfill. I thank Stampendous for offering such a great challenge that incorporates some recyling items into their sketch challenge this week.

Here I used a piece of a box that had been damaged as the center piece of the background and accenting it with glitter and the lining of a couple security envelopes. Using the Stampendous flower flourish stamp was lots of fun and I enjoyed adding some bling with additional layers of flowers as well as a tad of of extra doodling, glitter and metal accent beads. I lightly tapped my sharpie markers on top of the background's embossed dots to add color. Happy stamping!

  3. You're in the creative zone, Jan. I love this recycled design and wouldn't have noticed the security envelopes without reading your description. Very cool.
