Recycle

Stampotique Designers Challenge this week is to recycle so I recycled a piece of plastic from packaging.  First I added some color to it with 'The Ranger Ink Alcohol inks then ran it through Sizzix Big Kick with Tim Holtz texture fade embossing folder. Stamped one of Stampotique gothic gals mounted it over the embossing folder and May Arts ribbon.  Wanted to say this is not my original idea if I'm not mistaken it was on one of Tim Holtz christmas tags from last year.  Here's a link http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/12/12-tags-of-christmasday-10.html  Just thought you would appreciate the instructions.
