I am obsessed with this at the moment. I first saw it on Pinterest at this blog here. I just like the contrast of the textures and the way the shadows move. I also love the upcycling of a 'rubbishy' material and kraft is one of my favourite colours, for being so versatile.
This was a birthday card I made for a friend. The heart at the bottom is punched out of a Starbucks coffee cup holder. They have nice neat little ridges, like the corrugated cardboard. I average a coffee a day and started keeping these holders about three months ago so my stash is probably big enough now that I should stop using the tax-avoiding gits and go to the nice little independently owned cafe across the street. If only crossing the street didn't involve walking four times the distance and taking the lives of myself and my two toddlers in my hands. (Shangers drivers be cray cray)
