Recycling + Mixed Media

Hello everyone!
Actually I just wanted to make my crafting table accessible.....
There are a lot of things lying around because it is very difficult for me to throw away even the smallest piece of paper, not to mention a punched piece or a "failed background", and as soon as I had the first remains in my hand, I got stuck! Instead of tidying up, I put things back and forth, on top of each other and next to each other...

...and little by little something like a picture came into being! 

I couldn't help it, and I was holding on to it obsessively! 

This is the result! 

...I am really very surprised by myself, but I love what came out! ;)

The background is actually a failed "in quotes" background that was originally intended for this card. - Ah, too bad I didn't take a picture before using it! But if you look closely, you can still see two lines of the outline of the mask's face, just between the branch and the left wing of the butterfly. - The rest is covered by the scalloped circle.

The butterfly and the little sentiment just above it - I had one of each left - are from this card swapping project.

The balloon, too, is a "more or less" failure! It was originally supposed to be on this card.

The flower behind the circles, it goes back a long way! It is printed on tracing paper, but was too large to have been used for the project at the time.

As for the circles, they're one of the remnants in creating this card.

The clef and the note are cut-outs that have got stuck in a stencil. 

The frog came from this card, I probably overdid it! Haha

I can't say for which projects the branch, the ladybugs and the strip with the writing were intended, but hey, you can't remember everything! 

Well, that was the story of that card, a somewhat unusual style, I must say, but I hope you like it!

Hello everyone!
It's saturday and I want to introduce you to the our new challenge at 52CCT.
This week we want to see Forest & Deer(s) on your cards.

My card is very simple! I splashed some white ink on a card base of beige cardstock and put it aside. I die cut the stag twice and the Noel once and glued the two stag togehter slightly offset. I cut out a square from a piece of remaining paper and glued a piece of grid (ribbon) on it. Added some gold string and glued the stag on.

Have FUN
...and stay well!

In addition!

I had to slightly modify my card because I missed a detail of the challenge. 
It's the same card - I just added watermarked firs. 

...you see, 
it wasn't that worse!

Hexagons and ...somthing new! ^^

Hello everyone!
The secrecy has come to an end and today I'll tell you what it's all about! .....but first I show you my card, which was made with one of my ugly ducklings (unhappy results with spray inks). 😉

I die cut hexagons of different sizes from one of the sheets on which I experimented with my ink sprays, and backed them with black cardstock. - The flowers already were on the sheet before die cutting...

While die cutting I got a narrow hexagon rim, liked it and added it to the card. - The panel in the background is embossed with a piece of linen fabric. For more depth I mounted the large hexagon with foam pads and the one with the sentiment in three layers.

I'm quite happy with the result.... 😊

...and now to the most important part! :))

In the last days I told you that there will be something new on my blog.
- Well, I don't want to keep you waiting any longer
...here it is!

From today on there is a new Challenge Blog "Day of the Month Card Club" and that's OUR!

But we also have many other similar interests and ...we love fun!
All three of us are originally from Germany and not so far away from each other, but how life is, we only met while blogging and are friends since then! 

Where does the name of our blog come from? What will be the Challenge topics? - We are very excited and hope that you will like our concept, but ssst .....more of it in the next post! ;)
