BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE NO 54.............R IS FOR RECYCLE AND OR RUBY RED

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and your precious time commenting on my work.
I very much appreciate each and every one.

Today I have my entry into the Butterfly Challenge No 54 which is R for Recycle, and or Ruby Red.
Now I had been contemplating on this one, and suddenly today I thought of what I could do.
So I recycled a bag you get your Pandora purchases in.



The second picture is so you can see the Rose I made some time ago a little easier.
This bag is about just over 6"x6" in size.
I started by measuring the bag, now don't laugh as I am not very good with measurements, as I have mentioned before.
I cut 2 pieces of red card just under 6"x 6" in size.
The white card was snippets left over from a A3 size of card that I had cut down for another project.
I inked the edges of the card with Fired Brick DI, and then I spritzed the card with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists in red.
I stamped a butterfly with the DI, and added some dots with a Promarker.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

This looks fabulous Jenny and the rose is beautiful. I have done the same with an jewellers bag too, although mine was shiny black. FAr too good not to recycle or upcycle or whatever. Hope things are well with you. Hugs Christine xx

Brilliant recycling. The rose is gorgeous. I'm appalling at measurements myself, i get it wrong so many times. Someone will be very happy to receive this.

Jean said...

A fabulous recycle job Jenny, the rose is beautiful.

Clever you to recycle, and gracious, what a wonderfully beautiful rose. Wish I could shape a rose this nicely, and so realistically. I'm not one who measures well either. Even if I think I've done it exactly, checked it twice, something is always off. Usually just eyeball! This is just gorgeous, Jenny. TFS & HUGS

Di said...

Wow Jenny, what a fabulous result! I love the whole bag and the rose is just amazing!

Hugs

Beautiful bag! What a great idea to use that flower die here...it does not matter about width and depth for postage like on a card!

Brilliant idea...I am off to look at my flower dies now as I could use some pretty gift bags like this!
