I've been on a big recycling kick lately and absolutely no cereal box or any sort of cardboard is safe while I'm around. I've been using my handy dandy heavy duty chopper to cut cereal boxes and stuff up into 6 x 6, 5 x 5 or 4 x 4 inch squares. I've also taken my Sizzix dyes and started cutting away.
Here is what I played with tonight....
The fall leaves were punch out of a discarded popcorn box. I just went over the yellow with a G99 Copic Marker and there that's it - Who would have thought a picture of popcorn could be turned into such pretty leaves..... I noticed that the box of popcorn says "The best value in popcorn".... Well, you've got that right......... :0)
The yellow flower was dye cut from a discarded yellow sweater box. I just used my Sizzix dye cut which has 4 circles in various sizes. After cutting I crumppled them up and then used Copic Markers on the edges and just stuck a button in the middle (also recycled from some old shirt or sweater.....) The leaves are also a Sizzix dye cut - Again cut from some discarded box of some kind and then colored with Copics.This was fun - Need to go see if there are any more empty boxes around...........
