Celebrate buttons!





What a special treat, being a guest designer for Card Patterns sketch#104.
When I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to use 6 buttons for the 6 squares, and everything else just came together. Of course all the PTI button inspiration, from last week, helped! 


I used some fabric scraps, and layered them onto a large manila tag.
I had a lot of fun going through my Papertrey Ink Vintage Buttons, to find the perfect ones for this card. Then I threaded them with some button twine and glued them to the squares.  Fun! 


The papers I used are October Afternoon, I love that green polka dot. The fabric scraps are Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane and I'm pretty sure the yellow floral is from Windham's storybook collection. 
I hope you're feeling a little inspired to play with this fun sketch!

    Simply fabulous! I adore those ribbon tabs and the tiny well crafted "Celebrate" tag. These little details just bring the magic all together don't they? I must give working with textiles a go. You've done it so wonderfully. The little fabric swatches are so very dear. Another masterpiece!
