ARTastic............

The criteria for this month's challenge at ARTastic is to use recycled products prominently on your project.  SO out came my "might be handy" box.  I started with a kraft cardstock base, covered it in crumpled tissue paper from a dress pattern and also used that for the bow under the photo.   The little journaling card along with the pink flower and large words in the title came from an old gift bag.  I've made the flower centre and the scrumpled ones under the top of the photo matt from old book paper (tea stained). Under the photo is corrugated card and some notebook paper.  The lace is from an old stained doily, the hole punched corners are from a scrap of paper that I've previously used the punch outs from.  The small alphas in the title have been individually cut from a book page.  I've dry brushed the background and painted the edge with gesso.  Also added machine stitching and string.  tfl
