The latest challenge at DCM is to make a card that uses scraps from shop-bought cards, to recycle elements. "We want you to have a look at old shop bought greetings cards, wrapping paper or gift bags which you have received in the past and recycle any elements to make a card of your own."
I recycle a padded heart (centre of the card), mounting it on Rouge de Garance paper and adding a BasicGrey Two Scoops swirl highlighted with glitter.
My Favourite Place
Over at UKS, the monthly team challenge is for a layout on the theme of my favourite place that uses stitching. My entry shows us at one of our favourite places, Epping Forest. I wetted and sanded the edges of the main photo, used textured paint (Anita's) on the chipboard letters (EK Success) and flowers, and added gold paint on top (Adirondack acrylic dabber). I sprinkled some glitter while it was wet. The paper is by Fancy Pants and the overlay by Autumn Leaves. Envelope pocket: Studio K.

Love the texture on the LO! Stunning! I always mean to cannibalise shop cards etc but somehow don't get round to it, so I'm off to see what I've got that I can add to my stash!
the layouts are great... so good to make use of bits n pieces xx
Love the colours on the card and the paint detail on the LO looks fabulous- really effective touches!
Great card. I recycle all the time. Beats throwing them out.
Wow they are absolutely stunning. Gorgeous creations. Love them.
