fabulous with buttons

Today’s card is another one for the Splitcoaststampers.com Hope You Can Cling To challenges. This challenge was to use buttons.

I like buttons. I have quite a few of them in my craft supplies. Unfortunately, I don’t often think to use them as embellishments. So this challenge was a good one for me.

A while back I’d seen a card in the Splitcoast gallery that I really liked, and I used a lot of its design elements for my card.  I used the same stamp set.  The layout is pretty much the same, except that I stretched it out for a rectangular card base vs. the original square shape and placed the branches differently.  I also changed the color scheme and simplified the ribbon treatment.  I used less buttons because I didn’t have any really tiny ones.

I have to admit that I’m pleased with my results. I hope you like it, too.
