I used some REALLY cool buttons for my card today. They are Rustic Coconut Shell buttons. You get quite a few in a tin container for $4.99. I really wanted to let the buttons shine, so I came up with a layout that allowed just that. I chose 6 of the largest buttons in the tin and stitched them on a script patterned paper. I kept with the colors of the buttons and chose papers with a rustic feel. I added a semi-elegant sentiment to give it a bit of girly flair.
Each of the buttons were stitched on with SU Linen Thread. I have a "thing" about buttons... leave no button unstitched. LOL I love how interesting and beautiful these are. I really think they deserve center stage. I added a couple stamped flourishes from the Finishing Flourishes stamp set, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa.
The sentiment is from the Finishing Flourishes stamp set also.
I think this is my favorite button from the whole pack. I love the etched detail. SO cool.
