CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC2

Here we are again. Time for another CAS-ual Fridays Challenge. I had so much fun with last weeks challenge. Oh...and did I mention I'm a VIP! I was so excited. This is my very first honor. With Blogger being down I wasn't able to check before I went to work to see who was chosen. When I got back to work from lunch I did a really quick sneak peak...shhhh don't tell my boss. And low and behold...there was my name! Thank you all for the wonderful comments..and thank you CAS-ual Friday's for picking my card


This weeks challenge is to use buttons and twine. The card I'm using I happen to make a few days before the last challenge but I haven't had a chance to blog it.

Here it is....

I created the buttons buy using a Papertrey Ink button die. I cut out four of each size and adhered them together. Then I stamped the top button with whatever pattern I wanted.


Thank you for stopping by and have a great day.

Deanna

    This has to be the most fabulous card! You absolutely nailed this challenge! The buttons are amazing, and the distressed edges are beautiful, as is the twine bow at the top!

    Another fabulous creation! Congrats on being one of the first VIPs as well! Are those really buttons or a die? I'm fascinated with them! So pretty! Love the aged look on the side. Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!

    Wow! You have such a wonderful CAS style! I love the graphic feel but there is a softness too-like the loopy twine bow-fabulous! Glad you came to play with us again at CAS-ual Fridays!! (and that swanky badge looks pretty awesome in your sidebar! *wink*)
