Something Recycled!

Hey all!! It's Sunday!

Hope everyone is well & raring to go with the new challenge over at
The Crafty Pad

The Theme for Challenge #159 is 

Use Something Recycled

Here is my card

I used Sammy Scarecrow one of my many favourite images from 

The Crafty Pad Designs

He's just so cute & I thought he was perfect for a recycled theme!

Just look at what he's wearing!!!

Now, what have I used that is recycled?????

My base card is made from a sheet of black card which was 

inside the box my hubby's posh shirt came in at Christmas.

I scored & cut it down to make a 5x5" card 

My image & ticket were printed onto a piece of card from my scrap box,

it has a DP printed on the reverse.

The beanstalky type panel is part of a box which contained

 one of these posh room sprays.

Finally the fantastic button is from the button box that I was given 

by a friend & was labelled

"Wool Jacket"

I'm so delighted with that box of buttons!!!

I coloured the image up with my promarkers, then cut him out with a nestie!

As it was the largest Nestie in the set, I traced around the outside to make a matt.

There's a fair bit of distressing going on around the edges & some faux stitching!

The Design Paper is from Bo Bunny Ad Lib Collection

Here's that fab button!!

I added some baker's twine which I tied in a bow after 

threading through the button

The Happy Birthday Sentiment ticket is from The Crafty Pad Designs too 

& is another one of my faves!

I decorated the inside of the card with some leftover scraps!

Just a final little photo of my card from the side!
