I've created it using an old cork coaster. I bought an old wooden box at a car boot sale recently which was full of 'useful stuff' - there was half a dozen old cork coasters and quite a few old wooden cotton reels. I very nearly threw the coasters away but I'm really pleased I kept them. I think the design of this card is simplicity itself
I used the Tim Holtz Alteration Die - On the edge.
I'm going to enter these challenges:
"Less is More" - it's a recipe this week, the challenge is to 'use a recycled item'
Addicted to Stamps - Anything Goes
Enjoy!
Couldn't be better!

"Less is More"
This is an excellent card. So pleased you kept those coasters or we would not have seen this very simple clever card.
ReplyDeleteElaine - this is fab. I'll keep an eye out for some cork coasters now - who'd have thought to die cut them!
