Arty Girlz Challenge #35

The challenge from Arty Girlz this week is to find something to recycle and create something with it. Well I chose a Paint chart from the local DIY store and made a "New Home" card just adding a key charm, some alphabet letters and even the dots are punched out of the chart.The charts are great for using to punch out small flowers and shapes because the colours all match and there is a terrific range of colours...so get yourselves off to your DIY store this weekend and stock up.

    Trust you to come up with such a stunning card from something so small. May have to teach the ladies at my workshop this one as you really can't get much cheaper to make. Fab idea & even more fab result. Love this card....

    I will do my own take on this for New Home cards if you don't mind.
