NEW OR RECYLED?..DT

 Hello everyone,

So what is your preference...new or recycled..because that is the theme for our new challenge that is about to start over at AS YOU LIKE IT  ...

For me, I think you know that I love the recycling and like to use weird stuff to make something beautiful............... like gold foil from butter papers..



So here we go with some destroyed foil paper, but still enough to play with and I'm sure I will have another sheet or sheet laying around in my recycle storage container..


Found these gorgeous gold foil papers in my stash....



And this is why I had scraps,I die cut this beautiful delicate frame from it..wow, that was tricky getting it out of the die and making it straight again..



But I did it, and glued it on to the front of the card after it had been slipped into a plastic sleeve and stuff with gold sequins....




And I also had enough leftover to cut out this butterfly....


When  the light hits this baby, you need sunnies on, it is so sparkly and pretty...


Added a black and gold embossed sentiment and tiny bra bow?..


And here she is...



So there we go, thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
And it is a BIG day tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

You are the queen of recycling Chrissy- I'm always fascinated by the amount of different 'stuff' you manage to use on or add to your gorgeous cards! the way you mix them up with your new die cuts and stamps and ephemera is so artistic, imaginative and clever! Not many people can use old corrugated card for example and make it look beautiful - but you can and often do. Who would have thought that this beautiful sparkly card was created using old butter foil, just brilliant!

You managed to make a fantastic card with stuff out of your recycle storage container. To make it a shaker card gives it something special. Love it!!
