Made this just for fun, using an A4 sheet of handmade paper, folded the long sides in about 7cm glueing them down at the ends then the one end corners to middle to make the flap. Added some braid & a button, made a small slit to tuck the flap in & voila! it is done! Add little treasures, perhaps from a day out or just some favourite bits like I have.

Love this rose image - stamped it then used pigment pens and water brush to shade it. The netting you see is plasterboard"scrim" which has been heat embossed with white embossing powder, then sequin ribbon mini envelope and antique button added.

I recycled this coaster for the Lots to Do challenge this week. The black & white paper is handmade & recycled, the ribbon a remnant from a tag and the buttons are old fabric covered ones I picked up at a boot sale along with the coasters.
