Today's challenge is 'Recycled Elements'. It calls for using recycled item in making a card. Well, ever since I made one, I've been hoarding them so here goes:
What does a loo roll and the card have in common? The card is made from the loo roll!Ok, it's not my idea. I got this off another card blog site and made something similar a few week ago but it was immediately given away to my MIL for Mother's Day (yuk, UK celebrated Mother's Day in March!) So I decided to make another one which I hope I can keep for a wee bit longer! Used my Sugar Nellie stamp for the first time (bought her secondhand) and she was a delight to colour in. Think I'm hooked and will be looking out for more! She was coloured using Promarkers, the Brit version of Copics and far cheaper! :)
I added a tag to the card which can used as a bookmark if the recipient choose to keep it. The sentiment will be at the back. Here's how it looks like:
The tag is a recycled cardboard from an A4 pad (you know the back of it). I covered it with tissue paper but not before stamping on it first. Patterned paper from the card comes from Bo Bunny.I really enjoyed using the loo roll. Will be using them to make a mini album in the near future! TTFN!
