Rudolf day for October

 I've been thinking about the environment a bit more this year, so this month for the Rudolf Days challenge I am showing a couple of cards made with recycled products. The first was made for a competition at PDA, and is made with 'cup-cycled' card. Judging by the colours I think it may be Costa coffee cups! It only comes in this shade of pink. I stamped with Woodware stamps using brilliance ink, fussy cutting the main image and sticking on to a circle cut from some amazon packaging and sprayed with gold glimmer mist. The buttons were from grandma's button box, and I added a few drops of stickles and nuvo drops. I am entering this one into the Penny Black and More challenge where the theme is 'Pretty in Pink'.
My second card was made using the 'Crush' range of card stock from PDA which is also recycled. I used a woodware stamp and a hobby art sentiment. I coloured with Zig clean colour markers and added liquid pearls for the berries.
Do pop over to Scrappy Mo's blog and take a look at the fabulous christmas inspiration.
Thanks for looking!

    A always love a bit of corrugated and recycling Sally, much to Eddy's annoyance when he looks up at my stash of broken up packing. And pink and browns make such a pretty colour palette so ticking my boxes, so nice to see you at Penny Black and More this month, many thanks for joining in.

    Hi Sally,
    Happy Rudolf Days.
    What wonderful cards and beautifully created.
    Love the use of re-cycled items that was a very clever thought and as you say so good for the planet.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    Well, we both had recycling on our minds!
    Your cards look great. I have not had a Costa coffee to go. Just had Costa coffe once in the Highlands but I think it was a real cup!

    The colours are so soft and pretty on the first card and I like that you even added the packaging of a parcel for the round diecut!

    The second card is stunning. The white pearl drop pop off the wreath and the wreath image is beautiful!

    Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days
    Challenge.
