Winter Church

 

 

 

 Hello and welcome to the February Recycled Artistry IG Hop hosted by @newdawncards and @createwithkas 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.  My card today is re-using some corrugated packaging from inside a Chewy box as well as a digital stamp from Impression Obsession (now closed).   Although I've had this image printed for some time, I just hadn't colored it up to put on a card.

 

After coloring my church scene using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils, I blended everything using a Prismacolor blender pencil before stippling chipped sapphire distress ink to fill in the sky.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered it and added some faux brads before adhering it to my card using glue dots.  The final touches were copper cord along the left edge and icicle/star dust stickles to add some sparkle.  I'm semi happy with how this turned out since I'm dealing with another migraine.
