This week's Free for All challenge is "Recycle It" - find something to recycle on your card.
I used a corrugated cup sleeve from a take-out tea I had recently. I mixed some white gesso with silver shimmer paint and randomly painted over it and then trimmed it down to an even rectangle. I bordered it with silver mirri cs. The card base and snowflake flourish are white shimmer cs.
I wanted the sentiment to match the colour of the corrugated cardboard so used Sepia ink with champagne embossing powder over it.

Wow, who knew a coffee sleeve could make a beautiful card?
You did and that is great because it helped to show me something else I need to be saving. I love the snowflake flourish and the use of the shimmer paint. Thanks, for playing the F4A challenge.

Lovely! And an ingenious use of the cup sleeve! I have been saving those from my coffee...I knew there would be a use for them one day! TFS!
