50% of the cards in my gallery are made with recycle elements. Needless to say IÂ’ve been waiting for this challenge. Thank you Hannah Clark!
Okay, we drink lots of OJ. Well, the bright orange tamper proof pull tab is too irresistible to throw away. IÂ’d been saving them in a recycled plastic lemonade drink packet container for months. Using the button shank remover I cut off pull loop and use a Sizzix die to cut the tulip flower. (The negative space is nice as well.)
My husband gets his shirts professional laundered and they come back in a plastic bag with a 9x12 cardboard that is glossy on one side. I used Tim Holtz-Adirondack Mixatives Gold, Oregano and Citrus alcohol ink, and sponged onto cardboard and cut out the flower vine/leaves. Also added leftover stamped and colored butterfly from a project in June.
Tell me what you think of my obsession with saving trash! Thank you for being kind.

Your flowers are gorgeous!! A free (ish) supply of glossy card - aren't you the lucky one.
Less time to do than a sketch, LOL - I think I'm with you on that one.
