Mr & Mrs - Recycling


Can anyone guess which part of this card is recycled?

I made this card for a colleague of mine and wanted it to be special. Couples (or the bride-to-be) take ages to choose the invitations and once sent to guests they do not see anymore of them. I wanted to make this card a bit special and used part of the actual invitation to make the hearts. Here it goes:

Materials

Blue cardstock
Glitter cardstock
Embossing Powder - Rainbow
Clear pigment ink
Black Staz on ink

Tools

Sizzix Die Cutting Machine
Twang Alphabeth - Sizzix
Scalloped Cutter
Heat Gun

How to:

  1. Cut a piece of blue cardstock to cover the front of the card ( or use blue cardstock for the cardblank - I happened to run out of it). Heat emboss the edges
  2. Cut a slightly smaller piece of white card stock using a scallop cutter. Draw and cut out the heart shapes.
  3. Die cut the letters and stick as shown using double sided tapes.
