This week's challenge is to make anything with buttons.
I don't know about you, but I have a bunch of buttons in my craft stash and I rarely think to use them on my cards. So this Die Cuttin' Diva's Challenge was perfect for me to pull out my buttons and see how I could incorporate them into my card.
Sometimes when I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for a card I go to the Mojo Monday website to check out their card sketches. They have a lot of awesome past sketches and for my card I chose the Sketch from the Mojo Monday, July 9, 2012. Now that I have the card sketch picked out I needed to figure out what image I wanted to use on it, so I searched my SVG data base and saw these cute little candles in the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Make A Wish file.
As I was looking at the sketch, I thought that it would be cool to use buttons for the scallop/circles under the thin strip and use a ribbon instead of paper for the thin strip.
I used green twine for the thread in the purple buttons. To finish off the button theme of this card I used some mini buttons at the bottom to follow the sketch and and to finish off the tag with the sentiment.
