Unscripted Sketches #52-Celebrating Earth Day Blog Hop!

Happy Saturday! For those of you coming from Alanna's blog, WELCOME! Thanks for hopping with us!

Today is a special day at Unscripted Sketches. We are celebrating earth day with a blog hop and a special sketch challenge. Here is today's sketch and my example:




The bonus challenge to this is to create a card using a recycled product, using the sketch above. My recycled product is the background: it's part of a paper towel I used when I was cleaning up ink and paint in my art journal here, here and here. So I cut it down to size, paired it up with some Heidi Grace papers and rub-ons and a Kim Hughes stamp and made the card above.

In celebration of Earth Day, I want to do a little give away. It will be open all week long. Take the above sketch and create something using a recycled product. Link back here using the link function below. I will draw a winner on Saturday morning 5/1, and the winner will receive some recycled paper towels (like what I used above) and some other treats :)

Now, for the blog hop! Next on the hop is our friend Arielle. Please stop by her blog and keep hoppin'!

Who uses recycled "trash"? Impossible, I say!

Hi April,
I love your card. That's pretty genius of you to use some paper towel that you had just used to clean up a mess! It doesn't look like garbage at all.
I posted my card, but I'm unsure if it's ok that it's the same one I had posted for the main Unscripted Sketch challenge this week, so if not, you can remove it.
Thanks!
