and the little sign done on my Cameo.

 

Now my SIL Barb ..is always saying recycle ...reuse so ...

the picture above was an old wind chime that has lose its chimes...so I thought just throw it away

but then I hear Barb in my head saying Judy reuse it ...so here is what I did

these two pictures show some of the cute things that were on the chime

butterflies and flowers and other things.

 All the parts and piece I could save and will use maybe the flowers and butterflies and little things on cards...the long piece of beads I thought I could add to another chime or even make pulls for lamps ...do you have any ideas???

Challenge #14

Well here is Saturday a quiet day so I looked around for a challenge to do

and came up with this one ....

Less is More

Sketch 14

                                                 

 

so here is my take  on the challenge

I used my stencil from heili swap for the heart background

using colorbox red to color hearts.

the flower is  Memory Box die Verona Bouquet I count two one white so I could color the leaves and stems green ...the a red layer to color in the flowers ...then add buttons (my daughter suggested ...thanks Sam) to add to them. I made the flowers pop from the paper and the greenery flat to the paper. And yes there is a sentiment small but just below the butterfly.

 

see it is there .

Well hope you are all having a great Saturday.

I am off to found another challenge.

This one was so much fun ...make sure you give it a try ...and also stop by Less is More...

 there is a great little video and well worth watching .

Have a great day
