Hi everyone,
It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about Recycle style.
With crafting I throw too many things away. Scraps, packaging and things in daily life that I could have used in my projects. This challenge got me thinking to not just throw everything away. But think if I could use it for something in the future. I used a packaging from a Prima Marketing stamp set as the base for my card.
My first step was making a background blending Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagoon and Fossilized Amber Distress Ink together. And because the packaging a bit of a gloss finish the ink work very nicely. Especially the Spritz and Flick method works well with this surface.
To apply contrast and make some texture I chose the Latticework stencil with some Black Soot colored Crackle Paste. To give the crackle more definition I went over it with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and an Ink Blending Tool. With a white Gelly Roll pen I doodled some effects to the crackle, the Butterflies and the Cork letters. Below the whole proces of making this card:

I love how you used the bubble wrap on your project, Sandra! I've got to give this a try and those Tim Holtz alphanumeric thinlits dies are going on my wish list! Thanks for the inspiration. Cathie <3
Oh wow - what an incredibly wonderful video tutorial - thank you soooo much Sannie. The close up of your project at the end showed ever luscious crack and crevice... what a truly inspiring card. Not only the "make" but the "message" too. You are just sooo talented. j.
Love the video tutorial Sannie!!! and also awesome project!
hugs ZOey
Gorgeous project, you always add such great texure. And I love that the butterflies come in two different sizes with the text...I was wondering how you did that!
Hi Barb, thanks for your sweet comment! In the stamp set are the butterflies in two sizes. So there is no trick to it :) Hugs, Sandra
Thanks for your super lovely comment! You're so very kind! I love crackle paste, and Wendy's works amazingly! Hugs, Sandra
What a beautiful card you made with the packaging for the background! It certainly adds another element to it, and works beautifully with the textures you've created, Sannie! Awesome blue crackle and words.
Your dream on is absolutely right on target for me. I dream about having more time to make and be on the computer. It is pretty neat to be able to use some of the stuff we would normally throw in the trash. When I first saw this, I thought for sure it had to be an art journal page - terrific for a card! You sure do know how to put things together!

WOW! That combination of texture is just way too beautiful!! Great work!

I admire the bold, expressive colors you used and the added textures. Prima had a great idea to put text on the butterfly wings and you used their stamp so perfectly here. Loved the bubble-wrap stamping (what a useful technique) and Gelly-Roll accents. Thanks for sharing the video, too!
A new favorite! LOVE the color scheme, the tape, the crackled texture, the butterflies! So gorgeous!
Sandra I love to watch your videos! Great use of bubblewrap, fantastic! love every detail of your card! Barbara
Sandra, your recycled project is gorgeous! I love everything about it. That crackled texture is amazing. This is a favorite of mine! Love it!
Wow--wonderful project! So much to look at--fabulous texture!
So beautiful. I love that stencilled texture. Jenny x
Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration. I made my version of your card for my card pal exchange this month. I post my cards on facebook and pinterest and I go back and comment on my pins that I made a card from your inspiration. thanks as always for sharing.
Gorgeous project Sandra! I love those wonderful cracks and the pretty butterflies.
It's always such a joy to see how you create things and what the process is behind your art. You are a master of layers and dimension and I especially love the texture you created on the "Dream On" sentiment.
Such a fabulous creation, Sandra. Love the beautiful embellishments you created. :)
As always, a fantastic video and as Andrea says, a joy to watch how you create things! This is so beautiful and I just love all the layers and texture! Gorgeous work, Sandra!
Hugs :)
Sandra, this is gorgeous! To think this was a backing piece! I especially love how you added the white accents into the crackle paste.
