Back to show you some more inspiration for #54 Butterflies + R is for Recycling an/or Ruby Red.
This paper was the insert to a Birthday card I had received a few years ago. I cut several elements out of the design and created the card below.
Backing papers are from my stash and I used Spellbinder Marvelous Squares and Deckled Rectangles
to die cut the various shapes for the card. Layered up and added pearls and a silver sentiment sticker.

This second card uses the covering from a box lid of stationery (paper and envelopes long since used when it was the norm to write letters and thank you notes.) that I have kept for a very long time because I liked the picture. Th box got used to hold other items in and got well worn from constant
use over the years so I decided to discard the box and just keep the top in my stash.
I've trimmed it down and die cut using Crafts-Too Square Scalloped Dies and picked a scalloped blank card for the base to match. Red card for the backing and red ribbon from my stash. Iused Britannia word dies to created the sentiment which was die cut 4 times and then glued and layered to create added height.
There is still time if your quick to play along in the challenge.

So happy to see you're feeling better and designing some pretty butterfly cards. Love your recycling too, some beautiful elements, used in great designs. Especially loved how you added in the 'recycle' bit to the front of this card. Some really pretty butterflies in red on these. TFS & Hugs
I love this card it's so pretty. But you had me at the butterflies, love them. Great recycling, I hate just throwing away old cards.

Great idea cutting the parts of the paper of your old birthday card and matches them to an original design! The resulted card looks lovely!
The image on the old cover of the stationery box is just amazing, you have made so well to keep it!! And with the scalloped border it looks really great! The sentiment has a wonderful dimension and love the design that make the image pop out very well!
Stunning cards Valery, terrific recycling and what marvellous cards you've managed to create, Kate x
