Inspired by Oscar (the Grouch not de la Renta). The Res-Q-Challenge is just so cute!
Lots of ‘trash’ (AKA treasures) used on this one!
Base card is a recycled file folder (outside color dark teal – inside olive green). Edges smudged with black. Next is a layer of BasicGrey-Recess – on this I embossed using VersaMark, Ranger Distress Embossing Powder-Black Soot and SU! It’s About Time.
Image layers: torn black hand-made paper, torn rust color hand-made paper, torn layer of aqua mulberry paper, torn layer of beige color mulberry paper, torn piece of OLD book, torn image of rotary dial phone from mini gift card from Tri-Coastal Design – edges smudged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink ( Old Paper & Vintage Photo).
Ribbon area: Layer of same base card (folder) twill ribbon – smudged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Fired Brick, Old Paper, Vintage Photo). Swirly brad has grosgrain brown and black ribbon, three colors of twisted wire, aqua colored sheet ribbon, three different types of jute/cording.

I really like the color combo on this card. The handmade paper looks fabulous and the ribbons and twill are great too. Wonderful "trashy" card! Thanks for playing!

Okay, I am not worthy, I am not worthy. Boy, can you take trash and make it treasure, woman! I don't know how I missed this card but I'm glad that the RESQ ladies called it to my attention--great job!
