Michele's hosting today's Ways to Use It challenge and she's asked us to go green - colour, reuse, recycle or any combination of those!
We have young silver birch trees in our garden and just this morning I peeled off some of the loose, thin bark thinking it might be good for a papercraft project - so I think I have the ultimate "green" material here! The tree trunk and the sentiment words are stamped on the bark (stuck to paper first to make it sturdy enough).
I've used scrap paper from my desk for the tree too, just turning it over and using the back of experimental bits and pieces!

This is quite possibly the cutest tag I have ever seen! I love that you stamped on bark! I love the pop of the red mushrooms! I love the cutting and the way you put it all together!!
