TRR #52

 Hi all, today i'm back with a card for this fortnight's new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel Challenge Blog. Keilly has chosen this fab inspiration pic, and asks that we use the colours in the photo, plus ribbon, twine and buttons.

When I saw this photo, I knew which stamp set I was going to use - PTI's Button Boutique, my very first set from them, and still one of my all time faves (and I have a few!). For inspiration, and to kick start my mojo, I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday.

I used as my base some Natural cardstock from MFT, and layered some aqua, ditsy red floral, and heart patterned papers from Basic Grey stitched together with some aqua thread.

I then stamped the button board in Memento Ladybug Red and stamped the blue button in Turquoise Gem twice, and popped up on a foam dot. The spotty red button is from The Ribbon Reel Shop.

I then layered some Turquoise Sheer Ruffle together with some Natural Button Twine and Diagonal Stripe in Red ribbon.

I added a little white Cherry Blossom with a twine bow, both from The Ribbon Reel shop.

I then cut a border using a PTI die with some of the aqua and floral papers, and layered that onto the front of the card. I used the negatives to decorate the inside too, I hate to throw anything away!

Finally I added a little sentiment star using PTI's Tiny Tags set, and chose the sentiment for a special friend - This card is for Sue Lelli, as a late Birthday card and a Thank You rolled into one for the trouble she took to meet up with me a few weeks ago!

Thanks for stopping by today, do pop by the rest of the Design Team for some more inspirations!
