Recycled

Hi everyone,

This is my entry into Joanna Sheen's challenge http://joannasheenchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/recycle.html



A kraft card base with First Editions backing paper and then my recycling began:
As you can see my background is made from a recycled tomato paste tube which I embossed in my Calibur with Indentz swirls embossing folder and then used different heat embossing powders to give it a more metallic look, I even added highlights of cosmic shimmer powder before heating again to give it more effect.  The shape was cut with a nestability label die, marianne corner diecuts and a scalloped circle were used for the sentiment (printed on my computer).

The dragonfly is made from fuse wire and some beads from broken jewellery (a car boot find).  A truly recycled card!

Thank you for looking,
