Lucy's button challenge


Here is a card I made today for Lucy's button challenge.  I really borrowed her style here, clean and simple, zig-zag stitching, and buttons.  These ones are teensy - about 1/4 inch diameter.  Love this jillybean soup paper called caraway seeds!  Thanks, Lucy, this was fun!

Supplies:  Hero Arts CG194 Stencil Flower, heidi grace Greetings, ivory parchement, pale aqua cardstocks, jillybean soup designer paper, tiny buttons from Michael's

    This is gorgeous Lin. Love the stitching. :)
    And those buttons are just so sweet in the centre of the flower - so imaginative as always.
