I am on a Cuttlebug run, you know how it is...seems like we never use something for ages and then...we go on a run of it. It was an obvious choice to use the EF 'Textured Textiles' which I had on hand thanks to Hannah (aka bubblefrog) who lent me ALL her folders when she was away....so I have a few copies of this one - my favourite!!! I inked the blue layer and then used a piece I have been saving from the Apple Pie Plate I recycled a while back....it worked perfectly with this particular case. I tried to ink it, but it didn't really happen....blame it on the cream LOL!!
Navy ribbon was added and then a circle cut from the foil was layered on a navy circle which was 3Ded into the blue layer.....silver brads added...a very simple card, but I am liking the look. My DH has offered to keep supplying the Apple Pie Plates, but I am actually preferring croissant trays...easier to flattern nicely!!
Thanks for looking, I am interested in hearing what you think...

Ah, the Lolly Man... always 'there' for his woman! Got to love that guy! Linda, this is so beautiful! I love how you recycle. To make something this pretty from something that others may throw away is amazing. I love how you did the brads. Wonderful!

A pie plate, that's different. But I like different, no I LOVE different!!!. Your card looks wonderful and I am all for recyceling when we can, so well done, you have completed the challenge and saved the environment in one go!.
