ALLSORTS ~ Recycle

Welcome to another fab challenge at ALLSORTS
Helene wants you to
RECYCLE
xXx
This week we have a fantastic new sponsor

xXx

AquaMarkers are a dual tipped water based, pigmented ink marker with the advantage of being water soluble. They can be easily blended, even when dried, giving the effects of water-colour paint but with the convenience of a marker. The water colour quality of the markers makes an ideal accompaniment to an artist's tool box, providing a clean and convenient alternative to water colour paints

I have recycled a tube from a kitchen roll!

I flattened the tube & covered with papers, added a tag  ~ Really not happy with the end result & was going to make something else, but ran out of time :-(

I like the idea, but just not happy with colours & not enough distressing for my liking ~ lol

Never mind!!!

xXx

xXx

I have used:

Letraset ~ AquaMarkers

Magnolia ~ Tilda with wooden spoon & Swirl

Branch punch

Nestabilities ~ Circle

Nellie Snellen ~ Doily

Martha Stewart ~ Pinking Edge Punch

Flowers from stash

xXx

Thanks for looking
