Well, it's time again for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday, and Stephanie is this week's host for the challenge. Yes, she wants us to use different types of paper (things we found in our home) besides just card stock. Let me just say, I am SO glad I started this three days ago because I just couldn't get the right combinations. Guess that's why it's called a challenge, right?
Here are some of the supplies I started with when brainstorming. However, the only three things I used were the recycled notecard of pansies, the foil tissue paper and the green corrugated paper.
And then I searched high and low for other miscellaneous items I could use after I "wrapped" the pansies with the foil tissue. Still in my stamping room, I had saved this (almost) Hawaiian Shores padded envelope from Lynda and the bag from a LSS, which just recently went out of business. I cut down the padded envelope and also cut a narrow strip from the green corrugated paper.
Think I should have used the gold "Make Life Beautiful" portion as my sentiment, but instead I cut off the top of the bag with the pinked edge.
Here's the reveal of my card, and I'm actually quite happy with the end result. Good thing I wasn't charging someone by the hour for this card, but rather that I will give it to a dear friend (with an explanation of why I used recycled goods). It will make her day!
Thanks for stopping by, and I really do appreciate your comments.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Kathy and I'm so impressed by how many different items you used and the thought that went into it!! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)
Well it may have taken you awhile, but this card is worth waiting for! LOVE your beautiful combination of papers and those gorgeous pansies.
Gorgeous! Just loving how your card turned out. Beautiful, bright and cheery colors.
Kathy, your card turned out so pretty and you did a good job using assorted papers. This is what I call a "10 hour" card and it's a good thing we don't charge by the hour! lol Yes, give it to someone who will appreciate your efforts!
This is great! Love how you used the packaging! Very clever and it adds a cool effect!
A beautiful result. But I too have one of those „like pulling teeth“ creating sessions occasionally!
So pretty! Love the bright colors. I'm going to miss Running with Scissors too! Very few LSSs left in WA. :-(
Beautiful card Kathy! Love the vibrant colors and the mix of pretty papers! Great take on the challenge!
This came out beautifully! I love your pansies and long for Spring! Perfect colors and great paper choices! lol by the hour....I know the feeling ;)
