The Character Cafe - Feature Friday #18 Recycle or Reuse

The #18 Feature Friday this week at The Character Cafe is "Recycle or Reuse".
Here is my almost totally made from recycled products card.  I love to use recycled items in new and creative ways.
Background is silver chipboard recycled from the top of a container for take out Mexican food; I used a QuicKutz embossing folder and then alcohol inks on the chipboard; the mesh was recycled from a bag of fruit from the supermarket; flourish is a recycled black twist tie; two silver metal clips holding sentiment tag are recycled from a dress shirt my husband bought (see picture below); sentiment tag is Sizzix die cut from the same silver chipboard as the background; hand written sentiment; flower pot is a thin wooden square that I sprayed with glimmer mist and popped up off the page; this beautiful digital sunflower image is from The Character Cafe (comes with 3 sentiments); coloring done with Prismacolor pencils and OMS; I popped up this image.  TFL

This is like the clip from the dress shirt that I used to hold the tag in place.

Hope that you will join us at The Character Cafe Feature Friday this week for our Recycle or Reuse challenge.
