Recycled Face Wipe Container Lid Greeting Card

 Started this card project with the idea of 

wanting to recycle

the flip top lid to a face wipe container.

Took the lid, removed from its base, and

covered the outside and the outer

edge of the inside with Gesso. Painted it with acrylic

paint and let dry. 

I then created a verse on a piece of 

background paper and glued it to 

the back of the lid using glue dots. 

                                                                             
                                                  Then using one of my

new hand carved geometric rubber stamps

I stamped, using acrylic paints, all over a light cream 

colored cardstock for a background. I also stamped the geometric design once to use as a flower and

then one more time to cut a bit smaller and use for the center of the flower along with a yellow brad.

I used part of a washed dog food bag for the

grass at the bottom of the card and the

leaf and stem, too. It has a nice texture!

    

 

I took a plain piece of cream cardstock

and used a dry brush to create the

card base by just lightly brushing 

across, giving it an old washed 

barn board look. Then took

the background paper created from 

my hand carved stamp and layered a 

piece of that on top.  

 

Then using glue dots I attached 

the recycled lid to the card front!

Now when my friend gets this card

she will open up the lid to find the surprise

garden verse hiding on the inside!

I would love to hear if you try this and 

also see what you have done!

I would love to see examples of your

recycled lid card art!
