The Ribbon Reel #26 - Going Green

Happy Monday all, today brings us a new fortnightly challenge from The Ribbon Reel.
This week, it's my turn to choose the inspiration, and I've gone for a Going Green theme, of recycling, and using any or all of the colours in the inspiration pic below, including ribbon or twine.




For my recycled element, I used a page from a Dior catalogue that I was sent before Christmas. It has some gorgeous photography and rich colours in it, so I kept it!

This is the page I used, and also a small cake box from Halloween that has a lovely deep kraft tone and texture.



Out of the page I die cut some rolled roses using a Marianne Creatables die, and cut some leaves out of the kraft box using the matching leaf die.




And here is my card created using recycled items:



I have black embossed the fancy background using Waltzingmouse Stamps Florentine Frippery, onto some matt gold card.

I then stamped the matching label in memento, and sentiment from Rescue Remedies Additions, also from WMS.



I rolled the roses, and added some pearly brads to the centres.
Before adding to the card I wrapped some Gold Silky Crush and Seam Binding in Charcoal Grey, both from The Ribbon Reel shop.



I sat the rolled roses on top of some die cut kraft leaves, and finally added some charcoal grey pearls to the petal point edge.

Do stop by the rest of the D.T, for some more ideas on recycling some crafty stash!

Thanks for dropping by,

Pauline
