For this week's WTUI challenge - I am your hostess, and you can find the challenge HERE.
Pretty much everything on my card, bar the buttons, is recycled. I used two calendars - one with Japanese prints for the background (gessoed to soften it), and one of Australian flowers for the punched flowers. I used old jeans for the butterfly ( a Memory Box die) with one of my tomato paste tubes providing the body, and Liquid Pearls for embellishments. I also used some paper packing material, and an old book page (brayered with two shades of green) for the leaves, which were cut with an XCut die.
Make your contribution to Earth Day by recycling something and playing along with us.

Your beautiful colours pop right out of the gallery Sabrina! Clever you, finding so much to recycle - I keep so much stuff, which now we are moving house, is bit of a problem!! Hugz x

You know you've made me happy...favd. I don't even know what a tomato paste tube looks like, the store I shop at is very behind the times. Can't tell you how often I've thrown out most of a can of tomato paste...maybe I should freeze it? Can't wait to create today! I recycled yesterday too.

This is a gorgeous card, Sabrina. I really like the look of the book pages covered with green paint -- I may borrow that idea. I am curious how hard it was to die-cut denim because that butterfly is so cool.
Love, love how you recycled, Sabrina! I am especially enamored y your butterfly. but then, the book page leaves are pretty and your softened calendar bg is beautiful! Your creation is just fabulous.
