Today's post

The theme at Less is More this week is to use something re-cycled. Not a problem when you're a hoarder like me and can't bear to throw things away.

 

This week we have 

A RECIPE

for you

Use a recycled item!

It can be anything, card, ribbon, paper, metal... anything that has been used before!

 So I had these two clothes labels from The White Stuff that were far too pretty to put in the bin and I knew, just knew, that I would be able to use them sometime.  Well it seems that time has come, just wish it happened for more of my overflowing stash!

I cut the patterned part of one label and used it to cover unwanted text on the second.  Then I wrapped the twine from one label round and trimmed and retied the twine from the other.  I found a small stamp that would fit the space and that part of my card was ready to go.

Then I had the idea to use some discarded bubble wrap to stamp a border - another way to re-cycle! I've heard about using bubble wrap but never tried it before.  Think it makes an interesting textured looking image and will probably use this technique again.

I die cut the white rectangle with the bubble wrap border, then went searching for some card to match the re-cycled labels. The best match was some paper which I cut to almost fit the base card. Finally all these elements were assembled and stuck in place. A bit of a back to front way to make this card.

Supplies:

Stamp: Clearly Besotted, sentiment from Pretty Petals

Ink: SU, old olive

Die: Lil'inker sticthed mats rectangles

Re-cycled:  White Stuff labels, bubble wrap

So pleased you dropped by today - Thank You!!
