Pat Smethers gave this week's Twisted Sister Challenge. We were to make anything we wanted. I enjoy a sense of accomplishment when I am able to recycle something and I did just that on this card. I recycled ribbon, paper and used a new stamp set from Gina K Designs. Just love it. The recycled ribbon came from a packaged gift set that included a throw and matching socks. The paper came from a card a friend made for me. I colored the image with copics.

Fun card Tater! Love the blue - I was going to go with blue but went with camo instead - I may make a blue one later today anyway because I love the colors you used. Lovely use of recycled ribbon and your coloring is awesome. Hugz!
