Charity Card - Sweeties

After my brother came home with some sugar free sweets (the best we've ever tasted!!!), I was just going to throw out the bag, when I had an idea!

I cut out the sweetie shapes (licquorice allsorts squares and coconut circles!) and did the following to make an enviromentally friendly card. Just look at things in a different way and you'll be surprised what you can come up with! LOL!!!!

SHOPPING LIST

Here's what you need to make this card:

• Baby pink cardstock (sweetie colour I thought - remember pink shrimps?!?!?!)


• Mirri card as a matted and layered background and rippled silver card on the other


• I made the 'lollies' using an old lolly stick (sugar free again!) and stuck it onto a cream card circle I already had in the 'goodie bag'


• Add a grey scalloped circle (you don't have to do this, but I'd already stuck them down beforehand!)


• Add the cut out sweetie shapes


• Add gold stars (from the Tesco Make Your Own Christmas Card Sets)


• Use an existing cello bag (from previous embellies!) and tie with ribbon


• DST to stick to the mirri card base


• Add more gold stars randomly on the silver card


• Sentiments are just hand written and matted and layered onto scraps of card


• The bottom card had added pink bubbles background paper as the silver rippled card wasn't big enough - we crafters know how to make things fit huh!

Hope you enjoy this card, just have a look at what is around you, you'll be amazed. More crafty recycled makes to follow........ :-)
