Ahhhhh Summer! Enjoy!





Hey Hey Hey! It's time for a new challenge at Shelly's Images! Today, we want to see you make a project with something you've recycled or reused. It's so important in today's world to recycle as much as we can, and help save the earth. Go green!

For my project, I've made a card that is also a gift card Holder. The flap with the button opens up to reveal a gift card insert. (Sorry, no pic of the inside.. I forgot to take one! LOL)

My project uses Happy Hour Strawberry from Shelly's Images. The image is colored with Promarkers and sparkle added with a clear star gelly roll pen. The flowers are rubber stamps and are stamped using dauber paints. The flowers have been cut out and pop dotted for dimension. The sentiment, Enjoy, is a rubber stamp and has been stamped on canvas. (Something new I tried and I love it!) The button is recycled from an old shirt I threw away. (TIP: Want to use a button on your project, but don't have one to match? Use Adirondack paints or markers to color your button to the color you need!) I painted the button with Adirondack paint dauber, to match my project. The flap with the button is secured with velcro to open and close the card. I used gems from my stash as the flower centers.


I am entering this card in the following challenges:
