A Place to Start Challenge - JUNE, 2025 - ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: RECYCLE

 

Time for another great challenge over at A Place to Start. The challenge this month is Anything Goes with an optional twist of Recycle.



For this challenge of Recycle I decided to recycle a birthday card I got earlier in the year.




I used the flower section of my card that I was recycling and cut it out in a circle and layered in with another circle slightly larger in the green of the flower stems. I stamped a birthday stamp on some white cardstock, added  some  distressed ink and a layer of the green cardstock.
The outside layer of the card is some scrap lined paper from my stash. 

To complete my card I added a ribbon, and butterfly from my stash. I also added gold Nuvo to the butterfly and clear Nuvo as water drops on my vase. 

Hope you will join us this month's challenge. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team. 

Have a creative month.
