For this card I found a piece of corkboard. When I saw the challenge I saw a cork flower with a twine flower on top and burlap. I tried cutting the corkboard but what i had was too thick. I took an exacto knife and tried to cut a thin sliver and that didn't work so well either. I was able to get some small pieces and I cut them into circles for the centers of my flowers. I actually like how this turned out. Not sure I will use cork again, but it looked good on this card. If you would like to see close up photos of the cork centers in the flowers, check out my blog Mississippi-McGyver

This is awesome, and I really think you should add MIX66 to your keywords! I love the cork flower centers; I love the bright color on the bird (which looks terrific on the text bg), and I love the twine wrapping the corners of all those wonderful layers!
