Recycled flower card

Oh it's been so long since my last quilling.

I had been having such a busy period with getting married, going for a long honeymoon, starting a new job, commuting 3 hours a day, looking for a new house, going to the gym regularly....oh I need more hours in the day.

Well... I guess I have good excuses, anyway.... :-)

This flower is another piece made from recycled shredded paper. I'm really into recycling and using free materials for my cards.

Recycled paper quilled flower

Can you believe that this was made with shredded paper? Yes I made this flower with shredded strips found in someone's recycling point on the street.

That shredded paper that I found few weeks ago opened a new world for me. Because of that I started looking for more recycled paper strips and found a treasure. A big recycling bag full of coloured shredded paper. I couldn't believe my eyes how cool the paper was and it was for free.

The same day I started to quill this flower and I love how it came out.

Here is another similar flower I've done with the same shredded paper.

This is the first piece of mail art for Mailart 365.

The theme for this month is to recreate some of the rubber stamps that I have in the house into quilled art work.

This first piece is a pot of orange flowers.
