SWEET STAMPIN - RECYCLING

The challenge over at Sweet Stampin this week is to use something recycled for Earth Day.  Wendy certainly knows how to set a challenge.  After lots of head scratching I came up with this.

Recently I have been using some baby wipes to clean my stamps.  They don't go in the rubbish as I am on private drainage and they can't be flushed down the toilet so I've been accumulating them.  I decided it was time for them to earn their money as a crafting medium!

I inked one of the butterflies from SU's Watercolor Wings onto one of my used wipes - as I say it just had ink on it.  I then used the framelit to cut it out and it cut really well.  I added it to some lovely Dovecraft papers I have and an SU doily behind.  A touch of pearls and a button from my stash finishes off the card.

 

DAISY DELIGHT MEETS WATERCOLOR WINGS

A new stamp set meets an old favourite.  The Watercolor Wings works so well with our gorgeous new In-Colours - for the butterfly here I've  used Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and stamped off Fresh Fig, just to soften the Fresh Fig a little.

This set works well with the Bold Butterfly Framelit Dies which I used to cut out the little butterfly.

I've been doing a few CAS challenges lately and its nice to throw loads of goodies at a card for a change.  This is definitely not CAS!

I've also used the Daisy Delight stamp and the Designer Series Paper.  I can see that these two combined are going to prove to be some of my favourites this year.

The cardstock is Fresh Fig.  There is some Wink of Stella on the petals of the daisy, and on the butterfly.  A Glitter Enamel Dot is used in the middle of the daisy and a few enamel dots on the butterfly.


I'm including this card in the challenge for #TGIFC108 - They have a sketch challenge this week.




I'm also including it in Stamp Ink Paper's challenge this week which is Card Maker's Choice - click on the image to be taken to their site.
