The Perfect Sentiment: All Occasion Sketch

It's time again for another wonderful challenge from The Perfect Sentiment! 

This week we have a great sketch for you to follow. The sentiment part will be really fun too, because you may choose whatever occasion you like! But as always, your sentiment must be on the front of the card ;-)

Here is the sketch....

... and here is the card I created using that sketch in hopes of inspiring you:

I had soooo much fun making this card! For the first time ever, I finally decided to do some real stitching on a card! I hand stitched using twine. Not only did I love doing it, but it really made me want to get back to counted cross stitch- something I have not done for years! 

I also had fun going through all my tons and tons of antique and vintage buttons to find some that would work well. I ended up choosing three really cute old plastic ones with rhinestones. I removed the shanks from them so I could just attach them with glue dots. I love how they look!

So now it's your turn to create a card for this week's challenge! Our wonderful sponsor, Pattie's Creations, will be awarding our winner with a prize of one free digi. 

I hope you'll have as much fun with this sketch as I did! But before you get started, please stop by the other design team member's blogs and see all the wonderful cards made by them. Just click on the links below:

I am also entering this card into the Our Daily Bread designs Go Green challenge. I recycled those 3 plastic buttons by cutting the shanks off of them and adhering them to my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Please leave a comment if you care to... I always love hearing from you!

Al always, I wish you blessings,
