As a nonconformist, when I saw the challenge to make a card with a tree on it, I thought it amusing to do faux wood. Faux wood= faux tree (albeit chopped down) Since the purpose of putting the trees on our cards was to honor Earth Day, I decided I should recycle on my card to make up for chopping down the faux tree. Pam let me pick all the challenges today. I started with faux wood, recycling, burlap and twine. She started teasing me saying is that all... each time she did that I added more so by the time we were done the list looked like this:
1. faux wood.
2. recycling- cardboard
3. burlap
4. twine
5. butterfly
6. pearls
7. wink of stella- gold
7 is a good number to stop at. Now just in case the challenge police look at my card there are trees on it. You can check out photos on MY BLOG
I hope the butterflies on my card qualify it for the nature free for all challenge, Earth day 2. If you read this description this far, I hope you have a blessed day today.

Oh my goodness MariLynn, I love seeing your cards in the gallery and this one is a sure beauty. I agree with Francie, your name should be Mixed Media Queen. Stunning card!!!
