Trash to Treasure Beneath the Sea


The stupendous Stampendous  gals are at it again this week...recycling, repurposing, and reusing for the month of April! Nothing hits the "round file" this month, and everything is fair game to be stamped, cut, encrusted, and Fran•taged! 


My creation for this week features the new Cling Mermaid Kiddo, stamped and colored with Copics (about 25 different shades which I was too lazy to list). I used my Nesties' circle dies to cut out a portion to encapsulate along with some of the Steel Blue and Fresh Green Crushed Glass Glitter. I die cut a corresponding circle to frame the "capsule". I stamped and embossed in Aged Ivory the Cling Shell Background on kraft, tore the edge, adhered more of the Glass Glitters, and added the remainder of her tail and hair (didn't want to waste that portion...it was colored really nicely!)


What was my recycled item? The capsule of course! Somewhere in the past, brad fasteners came in this clamshell packaging which I saved for the perfect occasion...and this was it!


Check out what the players for this week have been up to:
