Buttons And Bows...

Good Morning
This week's Challenge at 
is 'Buttons and Bows'

The prize for the lucky winner is a gift certificate for £10 from
Today's card is my Creative Inspirations DT card, made with a gorgeous 
Stamping Bella Stamp 'Buddy and Jolly'.  
This card shows I think that buttons and bows need n't be girlie!

I coloured this cute duo with Copics and made a layered card in the shape of a tag.  
I used Kraft crad and a spotty paper by Pink Petticoat.
I added simple embellishments with rusty wire twirl, some twine and washi tape.  To fit the theme, the button is a wooden heart shaped button and the bows are made of twine.  Finally I added some enamel domes to match the turquoisey colour.
Here we are then, lovely Buddy and Jolly, I can almost smell the coffee!
