Every aspect of this card is recycled in nature: the yellow paper was a scrap/mistake (inked on other side first), the cardstock is a caramel corn box, and the sunflowers and edging were in a Doubleday Bookclub junk mailing on its way to the garbage. The second sunflower's center said 99 cents, so I covered it with a maroon scrap, then used yellow acrylic paint I had on hand to mimic the look of the original flower.

Now THAT is true creativity and thinking 'outside the box'! Such an inspiring way to give us that nudge we need to take a second look at things and find another, more beautiful, use for them. Thanks for sharing!

Recycling isn't as easy as it looks. Unlike stamping you have to find all the elements to create a card and you did a great job of that with this card.

Excellently done! As Rose said - recycling is work. You really have to let your creative juices go beyond the trash you see! Extremely lovely card! Way to go!
