Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Good morning! Today is a bit unpleasant so far as my laptop is not cooperating with me and I can't get pictures to upload anywhere on it. I think it needs to be taken in. Perhaps it is infected with something yucky!! I am on my husband's desktop right now, luckily getting this to work.



I made this card last night super quickly! I was about to leave my scraproom at 1 am (yes, I stayed up that late!) and I saw a box of beads that I need to go through and I thought that I would like to use cardboard for a project sometime. I proceeded to rip part of the box of right then and there an dthe idea for this card came quickly. I simply tore the cardboard and peeled off a bit until I got it to look the way I wanted. Then I used Copper Glimmer mist on it for a little shimmer. Then I added a Basic Grey chipboard accent and Prima flowers to the front. I love Crackle paint and I added a bit to the bottom right of my card. I did have to wait a while for it to dry and then I added my stamped 1 of a Kind sentiment. Finally, I added some string on the crease! I hope you can be inspired to reuse something in your crafting today!
