'Recycle It'. is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays
as you can see on the left, my recycling includes a piece of card packaging and a piece of plastic covering from an embossing folder.
I embossed the plastic, lightly sanded the raised parts and then added some silver gilding wax.
This lovely Kingfisher is from a Sheena Douglas stamp set which I water coloured and fussy cut before letting him perch on his his sign. I think he should be king for a Day. he is the only thing not recycled on this card
The matting and layer papers had been used to cut die cut shapes. I do tend to use the middle of papers when die cutting as keeping the outside as a frame can come in useful.
So next up is the finished card, hope you like it
Thank you for stopping by, the comments you leave are always appreciated.
