OK I had fun today with this challenge…As part of the Rubber Cafe Design Team I was challenged to create a card using the color teal, something recycled, dimensional foam tape and of course their stamps. Easy Peasy! I usually tend to work with “warmer” colors like orange and pink so teal would be fun and as of recycling I saves some cute clear gift bags form my girls birthday party that I die cutted (is that even a word?) and added to the front. I white embossed the Framed Heart stamp then colored the back with Bic Mark-its and sharpies. Since Vellum is non porous other markers may not dry. So I wouldn’t have to worry about adhesive showing I stitched all of my translucent elements down.
Stamps: The Rubber Cafe, Paper: My Minds Eye, Color: Bic Mark its, Sharpies
I stamped a flat clear button and colored the back with sharpies as well.
Recycled gift bag leaves and stamped button
Here is a quick version where I didn’t color the vellum.
And now for a quickie!
Other than the translucent gift bags I also recycled beads form a tiera that my puppy chewed up…don’t get mad, get the camera (It’s now my mantra!) 
Chewed up tiara (not making this stuff up folks!), gift bag flowers and markers
I used all of my new Rubber Cafe stamps on these projects: Lace Flower, Paisley Border, Framed Heart and From the Heart.
Have fun recycling and Happy Crafting!
