By far, my favourite item to recycle is ribbon. The piece I've used on this card was taken from the shoulder seam of a purple top. You know those thin little straps they put inside the shoulders, supposedly to help them stay on a hanger, but all they seem to do is poke out the neckline so you spend all day poking them back inside! So I cut them out, and recycle them of course!
Although it looks black in the photo, the ribbon is actually a lovely deep satin purple, to match the card.

Gorgeous card, Annette. Your colouring of that sweet image is wonderful.
I have always cut those ribbons off too, and use them often. I love the comment by Carol S. about training her friends to give her their cut-off ribbons...must try that one!

Stunning card, Annette. That image is super cute and beautifully coloured. hahaha I also like to recycle that little pieces of ribbon. And my friends/family/colleagues save them for me. Luv, Wilma
I do the same with those little ribbons on clothes, in fact I get quite upset if they don't have any for me to cut off and recycle!
The shades of purple are just gorgeous and your design is fabulous :-)
Big hugs, Kat x
