For my flowers and leaves I was looking around at other things I have that I save that I think I may use on a card and I came across these safety seals on my big cans of cashews I buy, they are a textured foil, I decided to use my alcohol inks on them and then cut them out with my dies, for the centers I used card stock.
Here is the tin I used. Before it was inked.

The metal seal for your cashews! That is such a good idea for recycling. I would have never guessed. The tissue boxes are perfect and your cards really are quite pretty!
these are genius connie!! i always save pretty tissue boxes to store things in, they are so much prettier than a cardboard box and i am amazed at how often i need a box that size. but using them for a card is a much better idea and the metal seal thingy, brilliant!!!
Wonderful techniques and designs Connie.

Love this recycled card. You got very creative.
Well, I'll be! Connie, I never would have thought to save the cashew lid, but it sure made some pretty flowers! Beautiful cards with the tissue box image. Some things are just too pretty to throw out!
Stunning and most gorgeous colours here brilliant ideas.x
Fantastic job at repurposing with the tissue box and the tin! Great ideas and beautiful cards.
So Clever.....love those textured tin flowers! This is a fabulous card! I might have to put cashews on my shopping list lol
Connie, I've never thought of this before. Wow! Great idea and the cards are beautiful!
Oh my word, this is so pretty and incredibly clever!! You'll have me looking through my house to see what I can recycle now. What a fabulous idea and it saves our landfills. Well done Connie!
Such a clever idea to use the fold lid like that! Your flowers and leaves have a lovely texture and you’ve coloured them so well.
Goodness!
You got wonderfully creative here.
Fabulous.
All the best Jan
