We’re taking recycling to the craft room and giving new life to discarded items in a creative way. From paper towel rolls, junk mail envelopes, cereal boxes, bubble wrap and so much more, we encourage you to look around and see if you can ‘use it before you lose it’ to the trash!
We post once a month on the 2nd Tuesday at 2 PM EST. To join, message Dawn or Kelly and tag us using
#recycledartistryighop.For my card, I decided to go with the Anything Goes part of the theme and pulled out some avocado netting I saved from the trash. I paired it with some digital quirky mermaids from Conjurer of Dreams along with a free background from COD's Facebook group. I held the netting on my card using pewter shell brads (to look like a fishing net) and added a few shells "caught in the net". The saying is from a retired mermaid set from Picket Fence Studios. When adding my saying to the card, I pinched the edges a bit to make it appear to be moving in the waves. After adding some ice stickles, it was finished. I'm really happy with how it turned out since I made it while dealing with this migraine that won't go away.
