Something old Becomes Something New

The Paper Players had a fun challenge this past week to recycle something and use it in your project.  Fun right? I had what I wanted to use but could not find the time to get my card done.  So despite the fact that the challenge closed yesterday at noon I am playing along anyway.

Something old

The base of the card is the yummy Baked Brown Sugar card stock. Then I added a piece of Soft Sky card stock.  My recycled item is a piece of wrapping paper (from The Paper Source) that I salvaged from my husband's birthday present. I have cut out a few more of these "postcards" from the paper for more cards or even my Project Life pages.

A little Crumb Cake Baker's Twine, Circle Framelits and a sentiment from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set complete the card.

I was uncertain that the modern font in the sentiment worked with the vintage look of the postcard. But the more I look at it the more I like it.

What do you think?  Does it work? I love hearing from you.
