I distressed the edges of a couple of papers and used them to cover a kraft card base. Then I went overboard - a die cut doiley, several buttons, a tag topped with some bling, a strip of cork, twine and pre-printed sentiments. For the topper, I used a very old embossing folder to dry emboss green card, swiped the upper surface with a clear pad, sprinkled gold powder on and heat embossed, then die cut an oval shape from it, then added a sentiment and bow.
Pretty OTT by my standards but a lot of fun to make - and it's made a smidgeon of space in the BOB.
