button, button...

Hey friends!!  Popping in today with a card that I made for a few challenges:  Merry Monday (use buttons), Freshly Made Sketches (layout) and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (a touch of green).  When I started my card I had a different idea as to how I wanted to use the FMS layout, but when I tried the idea out it absolutely did not work!  So... I went back to the drawing board and decided to stick rather closely to the sketch layout. But instead of having to squares I have a square and a circle in the form of a button wreath.  To make my little button wreath I die cut a couple of circles from green cardstock and then die cut the centers out using a circle die two sizes smaller.  The two circle were adhered together to give the wreath base a bit more stability.  The buttons were then hot glued to the wreath base.  I used hot glue because it sets up faster and the hold is a bit stronger.  Once the wreath was finished I added the little bow using some light brown hemp twine.  The patterned papers used are from the Pink Paislee Yuletide 6x6 pad.  I die cut the square using a Spellbinders square die.  The red glitter cardstock is from the Heidi Swapp Marquee Love 8x8 pad.   The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Gifts of Love stamp set.  I really love how the wreath turned out... I think it would be fun to make some of these as ornaments.

Thanks for stopping by...
