Challenge: Recycle

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge for November 18, 2019 is "Recycle". That is, "to create something previously used".

​I decided to recycle the following items: the remains of packaging from a layering stencil package, a sheet of thin shipboard that was used as a stiffener in a mailer; and a tissue envelope that enclosed freebies in a frilly & Funkie purchase. IN addition, I retrieved a number of die-cutsof foliage and words from my "left-over" stash:

My first step in the creation of this card was to stamp a background in Versamark and heat emboss with Mixed Media Powder on a small cut of the thin chipboard:

I tore a strip from the tissue envelope and blended four shades of green Distress Oxide Inks on the torn edge:

I adhered the tissue strip to the chipboard background:

I arranged the foliage die-cuts on the chipboard base:

I heat-embossed the die-cut word using the same Mixed Media Powder that I used on the chipboard. I adhered it to a strip cut from the tag packaging and attached the strip to the chipboard base. I then attached the base to an "ivory" notecard:

Finally, I added some gold confetti, added a chitchat sticker, and popped up a paper doll:
