For today’s ‘Recycle or Reuse’ challenge #118 at The Kraft Journal, I used Spanish moss picked from trees while walking on a golf course in Florida and a stick from my backyard as my recycle/reuse items! I created a white cardstock base onto which I layered black cardstock. I added a strip of Music Note Tape on the bottom and tied a couple of lengths of Red Baker’s Twine around the card.
I added a die cut bird cage and then decorated it with the moss nest, twig perch and a die cut bird. To make the bird, I adhered some Red Polka Dot Tape onto cardstock and then cut the bird shape. A pretty paper bloom was added along with two Garnet Stick Pins for balance.
Last, I added an I {heart} U sentiment stamped using the Fancy Monograms stamp set from Paper Sweeties!

Ohh my goodness, this little creation turned out so sweet! I love how you brought in the stick and moss, there’s no way I could ever do something like that…I’m in awe!
Very cool. Love that birdcage.
Adorable card! I just love it. I especially like that you used spanish moss from Florida! 🙂 I have it all over my yard and never thought to use it on a card! Thank you for sharing and have a great week!
Debbie, this is gorgeous! I really love the Spanish moss- such a cool accent! Thanks so much for joining us on the Runway 🙂
