Recycle it

I love the effect of kraft card and so my supplies seem very special to me. This is why, when stamping goes a little awry, I turn over the card and use the other side, as happened here. There was a tiny gap in the line around the label image and so I turned over the card to use the other side before die-cutting it. I don't suppose too many recipients disassemble their cards to find that there is sometimes apparently  random stamping on the back of some elements.
Here Stampin' Up images have been embossed with white detail embossing powder and the sentiment is from a Cuttlebug die.
It's for the Paper Players  recycle challenge and it looks as though I'm just getting in under the wire.

  2. Love the white embossing on the kraft Chrissie, great combo:) Heavens I hope no one ever deconstructs my cards, there's allsorts lurking at the back! Having said that, my sister Karen probably does to find out how I've made it!

  6. I love the leaf stamp! I only discovered kraft card when I started blogging and just got my first pack. I'm glad I'm not the only one to re-uses :-) I often make mistakes so it's a case of cutting down/turning over or throwing in the 're-use- drawer for another day.
