Welcome to this months Blast From the Past featuring Taylored Expressions stamps released prior to December 2010. We had the choice of choosing to use the color green in our project or "Go Green" and incorporate a recycled element into our creation. I chose both!
Here is the sketch we were given for inspiration.
The Designer Paper I've chosen is from DCWV and it's the Green Stack which is 70% recycled paper, the "ribbon" I've used is actually paper repurposed from the packaging from a Sizzix embossing folder, how's that for going green!!
The stamp set featured is one I had been wanting since it's release called "Summer Afternoon" the sentiment is from "Care and Concern"
Here are the other ingredients: Inks: Memento, Pear tart and Rich cocoa; Distress Inks, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap; Card Stock: Bazzill and Neenah, natural; Tools: Cuttlebug; Spellbinders Nestabilities Scallop Circle; Sizzix Wood Grain Embossing Folder. Buttons from my stash.
Note: I loved this wood grained paper and ran it through the Cuttlebug using the Sizzix Wood-grain EF then "stained" it with Distress Ink, (Frayed burlap) to give the wood grain a little more definition.
Thanks so much for looking and I'm sure you are enjoying all the creations along the way!! I look forward to your delightful comment and I pray your day will be blessed!
