I made this card for
Less is More's challenge 25, this week's challenge is to use a button or ribbon...I used both!
I had a ribbon hole maker( very loud hammer hitting metal tool) and made two slits, threaded my $1.97 ribbon from Walmart through the slits and put some dark brown floss through wooden leaf button(Joann's). Added sentiment(verse from Verve) to panel and popped up and popped up again on white card.
AND...I decided to put up my first attempt, but this one doesn't qualify...I thought there wasn't enough white space...but thought the Papertrey Berry Sorbet colored card, buttons and ribbon were just too "sweet"...so here it is:
I know...nothing original under the sun, but fun to make, anyway. I am trying hard to start thinking out of the box when I stamp, but unlike so many other incredible stampers...I have to work REALLY hard at it...so I'm working on it...but not this card...it's still ok to just make a row of button flowers and add ribbon and sentiment...and you know...I like it!! The ink, card, buttons, and ribbon are Papertrey Ink Berry Sorbet, the other ink and paper Early Espresso. Flowers stamped on bazzill white, the sentiment Hero Arts and pink twine threaded through buttons.
Thanks for looking, hope you have a great day!!

Oooooh - shaped buttons. I never thought of those and I have a jar full of them. I may end up being able to whip up a card for this challenge now that your card(s) have inspired me. TFS

Your cards are always amazing Lisa! I love the first one with its imposing ribbon treatment and I love the second with its neat row of button flowers and that lovely stitched ribbon.
Both your cards are really lovely. Very elegant! I love them.
Your first card is so elegant and gorgeous, and your second cute as a button! :-)

Hi Lisa, these are two fab examples of thinking outside the box as far as I'm concerned :)
Love the luxurious ribbon on the first with the faux leaf buckle.
