Day 140: Butterfly Recycled Postcard

had to create a postcard for the Swap-bot swap, "Recycled Post Card" in the Crafty Recyclers group using recycled materials, so i picked out some cardboard from a Kleenex box and a magazine from the recycle bin. 

here's my supplies:
pretty Kleenex box (cut to 4x6 postcard size)
butterflies punched out of magazine paper (using the Martha Stewart and Stampin' Up butterfly punches)
Tacky Glue
blue glitter
paint brush (to spread the glue)

Recycled postcard supplies

i squeezed glue on the cardboard and created a thin layer using the paintbrush to even it out. 
randomly stuck the butterflies on the glue, then sprinkled glitter to make it sparkle and seal off the rest of the glued areas.

Recycled postcard

tada!  recycled postcard!  it's so SHINY!
