I have used a Cheerio box, tin foil and some string and this is what I have come up with.
I use my Alcohol inks to colour the tin foil, which gave a great affect (will use this again on a card), cut out flowers from Cheerio box, then covered with the tin foil. I didn't want the tin foil to be smooth so just moved the foil while the glue was still wet - you can get a hammered metal affect. Coloured the string and used it for the flower stems and on the buttons in the flower centers. I used small bits of the left over foil on the die cut letters.
I wont tell my Gran that the card was made with old bits from the kitchen though ..... :-D.
