Just Us Girls #592 - Trend Week

 Sue is our host for Trend Week at Just Us Girls and she has chosen




I decided to use an old book page for my card.  I glued it to cardstock for some stability and then cut it with a deckle edge die from HoneyBee.  I did some ink blending with Distress Inks, then stamped the MFT wildflower silhouettes.  I mounted it on my last piece of this green paper that I love, inking the edges of it too.

The Design Team and our guest designer Chrissie Stokes have done some wonderful recycling and you need to head over there to see what they did.  I hope they inspire you to enter a card in our challenge.

Your inking on the book page is so uniform and your flowers so straight! Love this recycled card, Bobby!

I love using book pages on cards. I once bought a paperback dictionary at the dollar store for that particular use. Yours is so pretty. Love the color!

Silhouette flowers were a perfect addition to that page, Bobby! This is a perfect sympathy card!

A great way to recycle old book pages! I love the silhouette flowers. They all work together so well.
