This week on A Spoonful of Sugar the theme is recycling!I used a brown paper bag as my card base, used scraps of card and DP from my shoeboxes full of leftovers. I made most of the flowers out of scraps, the small cream ones were Kaiser bought from TracyJane Crafts but the others were punched out flowers that I doctored, see the tutorial below for details! The bling are recovered from an old pair of jeans.
The ribbon on the front is from a box of Thorntons we were given at the weekend, the chocolates were yummy, the box is going to be recycled and I used the ribbon on here, no waste!
The flowers on the front are primas! The rub on is Memory Accents.
The fab image is of course the adorable Simon and Lola from Sugar Nellie, on here they remind me of Babes in the Wood!
the flourishes are Basic Grey 'Winterland' clear stamp set.Do check out the rest of the design teams creations, they have had some amazing ideas for recycling!
Also you there is a fantastic prize for one lucky winner to be picked at random next week!
