Recycle and Ruby Red

The current Butterfly Challenge is 'R for Recycle and/or Ruby Red'.  I have used cardboard from a croissant box and the image was cut from a postcard.  The ruby red card was from my snippets drawer so I'm popping over to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.


Card blank: 5" x 5" cream silk
Image: Upcycled postcard
Die: Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly'
Card: Upcycled croissant box
Snippets: Ruby red embossed card

 I cut a square of card from the bottom of the croissant box, layered it onto ruby red embossed card and attached it to the card front.  The image was trimmed to a square leaving the flower and a few petals, this was then layered onto red card and attached to the centre.  I die cut a mini butterfly and attached it to the top of the image.

    The crossiant box was a great bit of recycling along with that gorgeous flower. Such a gorgeous ruby red colour too. Thank you for fluttering by my challenge where your card will be entered twice. Hugs Mrs A.

    Lovely colour combo. The wavy lines from the box are really interesting and a good excuse for more croissants. :)
