Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

In honor of Earth Day, Jennie's challenge this week, on the A Muse Addicts site, is to use something recycled or reused on an A Muse card. Ever since she posted the challenge I've been singin the 3-R's song in my head by Jack Johnson, love that song! :D

My husband got a shirt recently that had this silver chain on it as the tag holder. As a kid I was fascinated with these chains, the way they come apart and then re-hook in. I'd do it over and over and over again, so of course I kept it thinking it'd come in handy one of these days. I also used a bottle cap on here that I pressed flat with my Big Shot machine. I was trying to remember where I read that tip but couldn't find the blog where I read it, so forgive me for that but it's not my original idea. Such a great tip though, I've tried hammering bottle caps flat and had no luck, maybe cuz I need a rubber mallet or something.

I wish my camera picked up sparkle, but I did add some Spica Glitter pen to the owl's eyes and wings along with the outside edge of the circle. I tried to pick up a little blue from the ribbon by using a Copic marker on the outside edge of the bottle cap. It's very subtle but worked great.
