Molto spesso io sono ispirata dalle piccole cose avanzate, quelle che di solito si buttano via. Tra queste cose ci sono i negativi delle fustellate, non riesco proprio a buttarli!!! :D
Ho fatto questa card maschile iniziando dal leftover di un uccellino. Ho colorato il negativo con i Distress Inks e l'ho spruzzato d'acqua. Ho aggiunto del Nuvo Drops glitterato per aggiungere le bacche. Sotto al negativo ho incollato un piccolo avanzo di carta patterned con le note musicali.
Sotto ancora ho messo un altro pezzo di carta patterned nei toni del verde/grigio, poi la carta patterned con le foglie e sotto a quella ho incollato un cartoncino pesante ruvido da acquerello, sfumato sui bordi con il Vintage Photo. Ho incollato tutto su un cartoncino color kraft piegato a metà e ho aggiunto in verticale delle sottili strisce  avanzate da altri lavori (alcune embossate), per simulare gli alberi di un bosco.
(Io tengo anche le strisce sottili, divise per colore, come potete vedere qui. ...Sono una inguaribile accumulatrice compulsiva! LOL  :D )
Sul banner di carta pergamena in alto (riciclato da una vecchia busta) ho stampato il sentiment "Find your voice" brand Unity, vinto tempo addietro insieme ad altri timbri in un blog Hop sul sito della talentuosa Becca (grazie!).
In basso ho incollato un'etichetta, tagliata con un punch da un pezzo di cartoncino color kraft recuperato da una scatola e sfumata con il DI Vintage Photo, un fiore di carta e un fiocco fatto con dello spago da cucina.

Con questo progetto vorrei partecipare ai seguenti challenges:

You're not hopeless, I admire how resourceful you are about saving and repurposing things rather than throwing them away. Our planet would be in much better state if we all took your ideas and applied them to our daily lives to save waste! I like how you used that pretty dsp to showcase the negative bird image, and those tiny little strips of cardstock make this so special too! Well done and thanks for inspiring me not to waste so much!

I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used a negative die cut. Most of the time I will cover the whole piece of paper with dies so I se,l get a ‘framed’ negative cut. But still, it is a clever way to use your stash in different ways. I think all the paper and elements here look very natural together.

Lovely card with great papers and a great use of the left overs for the bird.
Thank you for joining our Things with Wings challenge at Allsorts.

Your recycling of 'negative bits' is always so amazing. You've put together such a pretty card, with loads of color, pattern and texture. It's always such a treat to read your post and discover how you've taken specific 'found' items and then created a lovely card. TFS & Hugs

Mattina Alice,

Dove comincio perché ci sono così tanti elementi che mi attraggono. Adoro i colori delle foglie e della natura e una così buona idea con la sceneggiatura sull'uccello che attira davvero l'attenzione.

E tu sei molto intraprendente usando così tanti elementi diversi per creare un bel design che è perfetto per il tema "Le cose con le ali" alla sfida di Allsorts, grazie mille per esserti unito a te.

This just beautiful Alice! Your recycling has been a complete triumph with this card design. The negative cut looks wonderful inked and with the perfect choice of paper for a singing bird behind. I love the glittered Nuvo drops on the branch, such a lovely detail. The paper with leaves is another great choice and goes so well with the rest of the layers. The strips of embossed paper does look like tree trunk another great idea. The finishing touches of the flower and sentiment complete this gorgeous design. Love it! Debra x
