Our Creative Corner Challenge



This is my entry for the challenge at Our Creative Corner. This weeks challenge was to use something recycled. The middle blue paper is handmade paper that I made with a little help from Bill Nye the Science Guy. I picked up his little paper making machine at Walmart for $5 and spent at least 2 weeks making paper. I finally got a chance to attach one to a card! I received this cute little image from Jacilynn. He just looked so sad and lonely and 'blue'. So that was my theme. I colored him with my Crayola colored pencils, distressed all edges with Tim Holtz distressed ink - weathered wood and added four brads as my embellishments.
