Recycle-Reduce-Reuse!!
So I'm off on another Wild Adventure at 21 Secrets! This is from Ro Bruhn's class "Flower Power". I have been waiting to take this class! I keep seeing all these fantastic Flowers all over the website galleries and when I heard they were 'Reused Beauties' I jumped in!
Ok- so these are made out on the Insides of JUNK MAIL Envelopes! BRILLIANT! I wondered what all the cool textures everyone had were. Oh my gosh I love to rescue and repurpose things...almost as much as I love Nutella and School Supplies... I'm a bit obsessed with, well, all of them...but NOW even Junk Mail has a Purpose!
My Hubby thought I was NUTS when I got all excited about driving to the Mail Box because we might have gotten some Junk Mail!
So first I cut open the Envelope and Doodled with my Pitt Waterproof Marker:

| A little Blurry...sorry! |
Then, since I was sitting with the Fam, I pulled out my Copics:)
Colored 'em in!
See the Cool Background Pattern...that was FREE baby! Wahoo!
She is having us do this Awesome Shading that makes her things look 3-D. But I need to make a trip to get a new White Marker...then I'll finish it up.
Had so much FUN I did a few more!
 |
| Ok- two are usable...two are just weird! |
Then I tried some Words...
|
| FUN! |
So Get Out There and Hunt for Junk Mail Folks! And go visit Ro Bruhn's Fantastic Blog and see all her work! You will be ready to Dumpster Dive with me!!
