This is the card that I have made for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Recycling. I recycle as much as I can around the house and garden but unfortunately I am not so good with my card making so this was a good challenge for me, it really made me think about how much I could recycle instead of buying more and more stash. I'm quite pleased with the way this card has turned out.
The image came from Joanna Sheen's Jane Shasky CD and the papers are Wild Asparagus from My Mind's Eye, these have been sitting in my paper pile for quite some time now. Everything else except the card blank has been recycled.
The Kraft card stock was the cardboard envelope that my last purchase of Kraft card stock was packaged in, the string was attaching labels to my son's jeans, the buttons were from one of my youngest son's old shirts and the little sticks with the sentiment on were once used to stir coffee, I thought they looked quite like the little labels used in plant pots.
The die cut border and corner are the new Spellbinders Lattice Accents designed by Sue Wilson, I know I said I wasn't going to buy any more until I had used all the ones I already have but I just couldn't resist these.
I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front using a five inch insert from the Jane Shasky CD mounted on the recycled card stock and then layered onto some more of the papers and card stock.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
The CD Sunday Challenge - Recycling (card stock, string, buttons, sentiment)
