Good morning and happy belated Earth Day! If you've come from April's blog, you're in the right place... if not - you should start at the beginning at Unscripted Sketches! Not only do we have a great sketch for you this week, we also are using recycled materials for our sample cards!
My card uses scrap cardstock (I file all my scraps by color...), the ribbon was a scrap, also. I keep all my scrap ribbon in a big jar. The flowers were cut from a cereal box, the printed paper is from a magazine, both were on their way to the recycle bin. I even printed the quote on the back of a piece of paper that was going into the recycling bin! Okay - I admit - the brads are the only thing that are new...
Wow, another beautiful creation Arielle. I love that almost everything on the card is being repurposed and the quote goes so well with the theme. Love it!
ReplyDeleteVery cool...I love the cereal-box flowers....I have used cereal boxes, but never used the backside naked!!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous Arielle. I love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteLovely card! Great flowers! :)
ReplyDeletethis is so cool! I love the words, their artistic addition to your card, and I love what the words express. AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an awesome take on the sketch! I would have never thought to use those strips for my sentiment. You are the queen! :)

Arielle, this is such a great card! As you know, I'm a sucker for the vintage book paper. I love how you really aged it up.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love this card! And the next post, and the next post, too!
ReplyDeleteI just decided to pop in and see How ARE you? if you stayed a Demo after your baby was born and you sure have! I don't do much on SparkPeople any more but have stayed with SUO myself. Plan to go to Convention in July, too. You?

ReplyDeleteWow, what a great card! I love the way you managed to find a way to use almost entirely repurposed materials for the challenge. The cereal box flowers are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use the scraps, lovely card.
