Earth day

It's that time of year when the lovely Jingle Belles are asking us to recycle in honour of Earth Day. So I opened up my recycle box and went to work with some spent Christmas crackers. All I added was a piece of Neenah Desert storm that I embossed with one of my very first Cuttlebug folders (using the debossed side on my card) and then stuck everything onto some Simon Says Stamps cardstock. And this week's TMS sketch of course. The picture does not do justice to the shiny red piece of card and the foil print, except on the far left of my banner strip, but it's really pretty and festive IRL.


I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Jingle Belles - Earth day/recycle
Shopping our stash - 198 Texture me
Allsorts - 307 Quick and simple

    Simplicity is often better than a complex card. Well done Marianne.
