The Paper Players' challenge this week is "going green" - use something recycled on your card. I often save cards that have a potential for remaking into a new card. The recycled part of my card is the embossed piece with the sentiment in silver on the bottom right. It was the front of a thank you from a recently married couple. I couldn't get the sentiment to show up very well in the photo, but it says Mr. & Mrs.
I trimmed the piece down and matted it in black. The flower and leaves were colored with Zigs - covered the whole flower with spectrum noir clear, added a few sequins and done.
I am also entering this in Color Throwdown.
Thanks for stopping by today and also for your kind comments.
Great save on your embossed panel, Betty! Your Peony and leaves are so pretty, and I love how you added a touch of sparkle to the bloom!
ReplyDeleteGreat upcycling Betty! That embossed background is so pretty. And your watercolour peony and leaves are gorgeous. The black framing adds a bit of drama --- awesome! xx
