The Ribbon Reel - Button It!

 Morning all, we have a new challenge this week from The Ribbon Reel, chosen by me! I really fancied a Button Challenge, I love the interest they can bring to a card, especially when combined with stitching.


I have used one of my fave sets at the moment Button Boutique from Papertrey Ink!


The pretty paper is from a Tilda stack, In the garden, all the papers are stunning and as it's a 12x12 stack, I will probably have this for years lol!

I used a selection of buttons from The Ribbon Reel shop, and pink and natural button twine, also from The Ribbon reel shop.



The stitched edge is actually a stamp, from the Hero Arts set Sew Artsy. It's a handy stamp to have when you want to add a stitched effect and either haven't got a sewing machine, or just don't have the time to set it up and re thread it (like me!)

I would like to enter this into the following challenge:

A Passion for Papertrey

Do stop by the rest of the design team for some more buttony goodness, thanks for stopping by today!
