Hello crafty reader! My card for today is for Our Daily Bread Designs' "Stampin In Time Challenge", where we are to use anything recycled on our cards.
I always love to recycle, as some of you may already know. I try to save anything that I can possibly use in the future, like the labels that come with the packaging of stamp sets because I can use them for backgrounds of card fronts. I also save the plastic packaging like that of Spellbinders or Cricut Cartridges. In fact, I have made mini albums out of them.
Today, some goodies came in the mail - three background stamps from... you guessed it: Our Daily Bread Designs. As I was storing my new stamps, I thought I could use the images on the labels. So I started cutting with one of my Spellbinders dies.
I was in the mood for something mint green and black, so I ended up with this A2 card:
Materials used:
cardstock/dp: @theoffice, Creative Imaginations, leftovers
image/sentiment: Our Daily Bread Designs
ink: Tsukineko
tools: Spellbinders, heat gun, Tim Holtz distressing tool, sponge dauber
embellishments: Robins' Nest, rhinestones (Bead Design Co.)
misc.: embossing powder (Ranger)
adhesive: Scotch, Zots, mounting tape
Now who would think that my background was just from a packaging label?
'Til next blog!
