Recycling

A New challenge starts today over on the Butterfly Blog.



Here are my cards for some  inspiration.

1st card is using  Rose pink/ Round/ Butterfly.



The Rose stamp is by Clearly Besotted along with the sentiment  and coloured using my Marvy LePlume II water colour pens by scribbling the colour onto an acetate block and picking up with a water pen.  Diecut using the largest  Sizzix scalloped circle in my set . The design paper is from LOTV  NitWit collections 'Pastel Dreams' paper pad.  I adhered the circle onto the front of the card with 3D pads and the silver edging and the circle butterfly are from my stash. 

Entering the above card into these challenges only:
Colour Crazy Challenge #44 Anything goes.
Creative Fingers #154 Anything goes.
Allsorts Challenge #492 Pretty papers.
Crafter's Castle #11 Anything goes.
Love To Craft #28 Anything goes.
Love To Scrap #115 Anything goes.

2nd card is using  Royal blue/Recycling/Butterfly.
On this card the recycling element is a reused table napkin. I didn't use the cling film method but tried another way using a  glue stick and found it worked just as well and less fidly than getting the iron and cling film out. Once the glue had dried which didn't take very long I trimmed to size and neaten and attached to front of the base card made from Royal blue card stock. The gold edging and sentiment were from my stash. 

The longest part of making this card was watching all the You Tube videos as I was sure there were other ways of reusing a napkin and there are!!

Challenge runs for 2 weeks and I will show you the last two cards using the elements on the wheel next week.  Hope you will come and play along.

Your napkin art is beautiful, I had never tried it until I watched it being demoed at a show last year and became quite hooked, wonder if I have a napkin that fits the current butterfly wheel, hmmmm.
