Padded Envelope Flowers

| Recycled Flowers from Padded Envelopes |
I have to say that if there is any object headed to the trash bin I am going to tuck it away for a day when I can figure out how to incorporate it into a craft project.
I had some old padded envelopes that I decided to cut from some of my dies and see what I might end up with and well I was quite pleased when I cut out these tattered flowers.
After cutting out several flowers this is what I came up with (pictured above and below).
The tag below I used a button that I applied clear glitter to for a center, gave it a little pop. The flowers and the leaves have a very fine glitter paint applied to each one of them.

| Tag background is wax paper that is leftover paints from this and that projects |
When I ran out of envelopes I tried using reycled wrapping paper and bubble wrap the results were nice and for the back I applied tissue paper.

I think these will make really nice tags to hang from a gift basket or wrapped gift for someone in the spring and summer months.
Maybe a baby shower.
Time to try a new shape.............
