I had such fun with this sketch by the wonderful Marlene....thank you so much Marlene, I'll definitely be using it again, it's gorgeous. The challenge is to do the sketch and use buttons. I used one of the incredibly gorjuss new gorjuss girls, look at all that hair! I just had to make her a redhead, one, it went with the paper, two I'm a redhead and love colouring my stamps with that colour hair because then its like a little me on the card LOL. I also used my new Whiff of Joy swirls set, the sentiment and the swirls on the strips of card are from it. My wash tablet bag netting has made an appearance again LOL, this time au natural in white! In fact I've recycled a few bits for this card, the button in the middle of the flower is one that fell off my son's coat and had been replaced by the spare, and the very rustic looking string in the button is what was holding a label on a pair of jeans I got for him last week....the label was fabric so that will be making an appearance on a card soon too LOL. I stamped the sentiment onto matching card and then found it was too long to fit anywhere nicely and then remembered a card by Rach a few days ago where she had split the sentiment in two like I have with the button so thanks Rach for that fab inspiration!!
