Upcycling!

Well now!  I saw a couple of challenges recently - one to use material in a project and one to use something waste to make into a project.  I decide to do both in one.  I used to have a lovely pale green jacket with embroidery on it (well I liked it) but sadly it no longer fitted me. I had thought of making it into a bag but started cutting it up but didn't get any farther.  So for these projects I cut some flowers out of the jacket with a Sizzix die.  I put a little Indigo Blu Flitter Glue on the edges and then used some silver embossing powder.  The background was stamped with an old Rollagraph stamp and also embossed in silver.  The sentiment is from Stampendous.
