crazy patchwork thanks card - gift card

pleased to say this is somehting from nothing.  yes i used new cottons but the rest has been saved from the bin....tiny scraps and even the card base was something i received as packaging... i feel there's always something a bit extra when a pleasant object is made instead of being sent to landfill.. hopefully the recipeint will use it again as i put a letter in the fold with a message










of course the money is new - or is that recycling too?
