Happily ever after...

I think I have made it pretty clear by now that I don't like making cards. So what do I do when I have to give a gift? Viola- altered coaster. I'm heading over to get my hole punch out of storage so I can punch a clean hole in the top of the coaster. Once punched, I'll string double faced satin through it and attach it to the present.

The coaster is double sided. I wrote a personal message on the back. The text? Cut from the wedding invitation. The entire coaster is coated in heavy layers of gel medium, that I applied with my finger like frosting...I like the uneven, flow like appearance once it is dry.

Thanks for stopping by today!
