I never have a card for someone moving into a new home so I took this opportunity while I'm entering Flourishes FTTC104-Button Up challenge to make one. Maki, the hostess this week said to use buttons on your card or project.
I made a very simple, one layer using Flourishes Home Tweet Home stamp set. I colored the leaves, bird, and branches with Copics and Tombows. Added a crinkled ribbon, twine, and a button. I cut out and popped on my little bird and it's finished.
My card was also inspired by the challenge at Etsy Inspired Challenge -EIC125. My inspiration came from this wonderful Wild Leaves Hair Clip at Daisy Petal Designs.
My card is also for the challenge at Tuesday Throwdown #35 to use buttons on your artwork.
I've had this elegant button for a few weeks and it has been begging to be used..so this is the challenge for me.
Recipe:
Stamps: Flourishes Home Tweet Home
Paper: PTI white cardstock
Ink: Stampin'Up! Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Brown crinkled ribbon, JHB button, twine, Copics, Tombows
