The Way To Use It Challenge this week WT207 is about being frugal.
My first card used Quickutz flowers cut from an aluminum can, and I wanted to try a die that used a large area of the can. This Top Note was made with a Diet Coke can, and I used the inside. It is more of a brushed metal look.
Now on to the "ribbon".... My husband was flipping channels last week, and called me into the room to see a segment on Rachel Ray. They were using the tape from a VHS cassette as ribbon on wrapped gift. It did look pretty cool... Black and shiney against bright solid color wrap. So that is what I did here, was use the tape for the ribbon on this card.
This is my FOURTH frugal card challenge... I'm kinda having fun with this one!!
TFL!!!

very interesting use of recycled items. I love the card. Just make sure you don't use the old video of the honeymoon or some other irreplaceable tape LOL!
