Recycled packaging

When I used Prima flowers on my DLO on Paddy's CJ earlier today, I kept the card from inside the packaging - I felt it was too good to throw away. So I cut off the top part (where it said Prima) and stamped with one of my favourite Inkadinkadoo tree stamps, using memento rich cocoa and heat embossing with detail clear - so this is for these recycling challenges:

Creative card crew: recycle something
Try it on Tuesday: a bit of upcycling
Moving along with the times 95: recycle
If the shoe fits Fashionista Friday 76: happy earth day - recycling, reusing or renewing

I chose the colours for Guylou's creative khaki challenge:

and also used the sketch and 'birthday' theme for Pixie cottage 66:

The background paper is BG cappella; ribbons, buttons and birthday wishes sentimet from stash.

This is also for:

The paper shelter 10: inspired by nature
Stampavie and more 138: birthday
Stamp n doodle: masculine creation
Meljen 55: masculine
Aud sentiments 26: anything goes
Pile it on 17: 2 or more ribbons
Amber's crafts and stuff 6: ribbons and bows
Incy wincy 91: buttons and bows
Let's ink it up 13: show us your stitching
Creative craft: embossing
Simon says: emboss it

    Gorgeous card Hazel. Greatminds must think alike as i keep the gorgeous Prima card inserts to the packaging!!! it is such lovely quality, and lets face it Prima isn't the cheapest brand so nice to get the most out of it, also to recycle!!!. Hazel i will be taking part in your Christmas challenge hun but with a different card as i really want to boost my cards up and would rather make a seperate one so it is making me make more!!!.
