I had gotten the Sizzix Big Shot for Christmas and have been playing with it since. Was excited to get the 3D 5 point star die and experimented with recycling soda cans and I also had some nice cardboard/chipboard type of scraps. Where I used to work in an insurance agency, we ordered ID card holders. And they had these nice strips of cardboard in the packaging. I had been grabbing those for awhile knowing they could be recycled somehow. I used a lot for Santa Key doorknob hangers. And then I knew I could use them for the 3D star! (Mental note to contact one of my old co-workers and see if she can still collect those for me!)
So here is the one made from recycled soda cans. It took 2 and 1/2 soda cans to make one star. I die cut the pieces, embossed them with the curly embossing folder and then used Ranger alcohol inks (total of 3 colors and a little gold) to color the pieces. And then assembled.
The 2nd one is made with the recycled cardboard pieces and used a nice shabby set of coordinating papers. Distressed the edges with inks and also assembled.
And now onto the giveaway! With spring and Easter on it's way, I decided to offer up one of my Peter Cottontails.
