Wow- the week sure flew by! And it's time again for another great challenge from The Perfect Sentiment.
This week it is to create a card with a "missing you" sentiment on the front.
The "twist": Use a button or buttons on the card.
Here is the card I made which I hope will help to inspire you:
I used some beautiful Daisy d's patterned paper. I just love it! The lovely blue and ivory lace trim is some that I bought at an antiques/flea market. I topped it with some natural colored crochet trim and pinch-pleated them onto my adhesive.
The flower is by Prima. In the center of it I added a really pretty blue glass- almost moonstone looking- antique button I got at an antique store. It is one of a set of three buttons, which I have been hanging on to waiting for just the right project. I think it looks great here- and happily I still have two of them left :-)
I hope you enjoy my card and are inspired to create your own "missing a button" card.
This week we are playing "just for fun"! I hope you will join us and get your card linked up at The Perfect Sentiment Challenge Blog by Tuesday at 10:00PM EST.

Blessings,
Sarah

Paper crafting has become my way to share the creativity inside my soul. It is my creative outlet, my diversion, and my escape from everyday craziness. After spending years as a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I learned how to share my love of crafting with others and encourage them to find their own creative outlets. Now, instead of working for a specific company, I am focusing my time on my own creations and designing my own art. I hope to inspire others with my work and am excited to see where this takes me!

What a beautiful card! Love that big flower with the pretty center. :)
your layered lace and patterned paper reminds me of grandma's kitchen and the valances over her window onver her kitchen sink. Beautiful colors and textures.
So gorgeous, Sarah - love all the dimensions, lace, ribbon, paper and the colors.
This is so gorgeous! I love the lace and the button and flower and everything! So vintage and beautiful.

I can honestly say that I've never gotten buttons in an antique shop but now you have inspired me to do so!! What a beautiful creation Sarah!! The lace and flower along with the button are so soft and work wonderfully together!!
