Hi everyone! The Just Us Girls challenge this week is our Trend challenge. Sue chose for us to recycle something on our card. This was fun!
I save the package inserts from stamp and die sets. I use them for cutting extra images to use for dimension. I love the Waffle Flower packaging and found one that was the perfect size for a card. I just cut it down a bit to fit on a yellow mat. Then I used one of their new stamp/die/stencil combos called Spread Your Wings. I stamped the butterflies then blended three inks on them using the stencils. I stamped them again in the black ink because it was a bit dull. In hindsight, I could have done this a few other ways, but this was what I went with initially. After stamping and blending the ink, I die cut each one and then die cut each two more times to stack for dimension. The sentiment is from The Greetery and I used the yellow and pink inks (they blended together for a peachy color) to stamp it and then die cut it as well as two more times for dimension. I added the sub-sentiment, some crystals, and spritzed it with shimmer spray. I love the way this came out!

Great take on the recycling challenge. I love the use of the Waffle Flower packaging, it turned out great!
I love how you recycled the Waffle Flower packaging into this beautiful card! I love those pretty butterflies and perfect touches of bling! I bet that shimmer spray is gorgeous irl.
I actually thought when I saw your card that it might be made from Waffle Flower packaging. Brilliant idea and wonderfully executed as those butterflies look so perfect!
I saw your card and immediately knew it was the Waffle Flower packaging... so BRILLIANT! Just an amazing card...
I recognize the packaging, Lisa, and it makes a great canopy for your beautifully ink blended and matching butterflies.
You have reason to love this! It turned out very pretty and bright :)
What a great way to recycle your WF packaging and oh, how pretty with the butterflies! I just tossed some of these papers away...dashing off to reclaim them from the recycle bin!
