Beautiful color challenge today! I made a mental note when I saw THIS CARD by SmilynStef: use paper bags for flowers. I don't have any, sadly, but I do have scads of the paper that Stampin'Up! uses as filler when they ship their goodies, so I used that instead. It's a bit warmer than SU kraft, so I also upcycled a gingersnap box for my card base.
The flower is eight of the new jumbo flower punch with all of the edges (both sides) inked, and scrunched up like crazy! Since the brad doesn't show, I just used a boring old office supply brass one... Fun times! Thanks for looking!

Sue, a card made from recycled elements- my daughter would be proud of you. She's a recycled nut! I love your use of this beautiful wheel, use of white space and the fabulous red-tinged flower. Red ink on the brown paper is a cool look.
