I made two versions of this card, the other one is identical but uses green card instead of beige. Both sets of card come from reused office stationery, the white handmade paper comes from a second-hand cardmaking kit from a local charity shop, the leaf comes from second hand pot pourri (and smells of peaches!) and the foil is from a bar of Divine fairtrade chocolate.
be careful if you send it overseas though...recently I had cards sent from Israel, taken by customs because of dried flowers that were present...they asked if I wanted to pay a collossal amount to have it fumigated... but did send a photo copy to me which was nice of them...

You are so ingenious Juliet!
ReplyDeleteWonderful - and I'm a sucker for Divine!
ReplyDeleteWell, that makes you our eco-warrior of the week, I think. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely Juliet. Your creativity always amazes me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fascinating leaf. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I bet that card smells good!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I haven't seen Divine on this side of the pond, but will look for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the potpourri and chocolate bar wrapper. Are you placing these loose projects into a journal? Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot get much more recycled than that Juliet. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card - and scented too!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's lovely! Handmade is always the best!

I love the idea of reusing materials to make crafts. I can't stand to waste anything.
