Packaging! Upcycle/recycle

Supplies:  Follow your heart stamp set - My Mind's Eye,

 Aquamarine Archival ink - Ranger, Mini white luggage tag, 

Rich Cocoa ink - Memento, aqua washi tape - The Greeting Farm, 

red washi tape - Queen & Co, heart punch - X-Cut, Ribbon - craftfairy.co.uk,

The Challenge this week on Paperplay is "Upcycle/Recycle".

I needed to package up some items for my niece and decided to recycle some card packaging (cellophane bag). I used tissue paper and punched red/teal circles and hearts from some textured pp to create the confetti to add to the package. I added one tiny heart to the tag.

I love using bright colours on my projects. I used stamped images in rich cocoa as my base layer and then added the colours with flower, washi tape and ribbon. 

 Thanks for peeking- hope you have a wonderful day.

Thanks - using packaging!

You will all very readily recognise Tim Holtz's flourish on the card above.  This is the backing from one of the packets of goodies I purchased recently that I decided to reuse!.  I inked around the edges, added crackle accents to the flourish, set aside to dry, assembled the rest of the card and love how it turned out.

I am entering it into the Inspiration Emporium Monthly Challenge - packaging!  Check out the Inspiration Journal for full deets here.
