I ♥ Promarkers Challenge #47 - Recycle

It's the first challenge of 2011 over on the I ♥ Promarkers blog and the theme for challenge #47 is Recycle.  We are asking you to recycle and reuse materials on your projects.  Our sponsor for this week's challenge is Joanna Sheen.   Why not pop over to the blog and check out the full details.

For my card I used the kraft colour card from the centre of a roll of christmas wrapping paper, which I embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

The image and sentiment are from Crafty Individuals and is part of a set I was given as a Christmas giftie from a fabulous crafting buddy.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and sponged around the edges with the rectangle nestie left in place to create a frame.  The layer under the image was cut from Early Espresso cardstock from SU!.  I used a set of Marianne's Designs flower and swirl dies and scraps of the EE and the kraft card to create a floral embelishment.  Adding a flower reycled from a gift tag on the top to complete it.

My aim was to create a vintage photo feel to my card and I hope I've achieved it !

I do hope you'll submit an entry for this week's challenge, I love to hop around all the blogs checking out your fabulous creations.

Delicious mocha tones to this card and that sentiment is so versatile. If I'm honest this is the image I've used most from the C.I. set though I thought it would be the larger girl image!!!

SUPER card
