100% recycled

Hello dear bloggers,

A few days ago, I had shown you a fully recycled card and here is one more such. 
The kraft cardstock was a carrier bag in its previous life. On the top of the card is a border of a wallpaper sample. I tried to position it in a way that the gold border would be the highlight.
The butterfly has also been die cut from the same wallpaper. A little shadow was created under the butterfly with die cutting a duplicate with recycled white paper. This card could be brighter, I think but it kind of looks subtle and charming in real life.



I will participate in the following challenges with this card:

100% recycled

 Hello sweet bloggers,

I have been thinking of how I can extend my love of making cards out of recycled materials for a couple of years now. This card is one hundred percent recycled. I found a brochure outside an art museum in Kyoto, Japan with details of an art exhibition. I know what happens to such brochures after the event is over. So I confidently picked up a few and carried back them more safely than I would a baby. Lol. 

 The kraft paper that I have here for the cardstock was a thick brown paper carrier bag from a store. This is the result. Simple yet quite pretty I thought. Coming back to the image, we visited Kyoto to see the cherry blossoms hence you see them here. 

I also have to give credit to a friend called Natalie who challenged me to make a card that was totally recycled.



 I will enter it in the following challenges:
