Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #263 Recycled Element

Judy is hosting today's challenge, Recycled Element

As usual, anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or home decor, as long as it meets the 'Recycled Element' theme.

This card is for a brother's birthday  I used two washers I found in the garage. I thought they would make a reasonable decoration on the card. I am pretty sure my brother will recognize them (know what they are). I darkened them with brown ink. The ribbon is from my stash and the three tickets are from another project. I also printed off a clock picture I found online, cut it out, reinforced the back, and adhered it to the card. The decorative circle between the two washers is from a Tim Holtz die set.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #260 Create Your Own Background, what a fun challenge this is. I created my background by filling a dish with foam shaving cream, adding a few ink drops of different green shades to it, and stirred it very gently. I placed my sheet of white cardstock onto the foam and this was the end result.
