For those that drink, you may leftover wine corks laying around. A great way to add polka dots or circle embellishment backgrounds to cards and scrapbook pages. You can also use the "dot " for your "i's" and "j's" in titles, too. The ideas for circles are endless. Again, you can use ink or paint.
I have found the actual cork stoppers give better textures on the cardstock. The silicone/plastic ones are okay, but I like the rustic look the corks give.
Note: the cork will stain. If you rinse/clean the cork immediately, the staining will be minimal.

| As you can see, the cork is slightly stained. |

| This cardstock is textured. I sanded it to lessen the darkness of the cork stamped images. |

| I also did a card front in teal. |
