Julia challenged us to use twine today. I don't have any but I do have this macrame cord. I put a drop of Crystal Effects on the knots of the bows to keep them tight. This also qualifies for Lois' challenge at Stampin B's to use pink, blue & green c/s. You can see challenge 75 here:
I got these cute chipboard buttons at Big Lots for $1. It's kind of a small flower pot for these giant flowers, but it's only a card!!! I found it was harder than I thought to get the right proportions when stacking c/s. As an after thought, I used post-it notes to mask off the c/s & stamp the small swirl on the vase.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
I'll be back later to comment as DH need the 'puter.

These buttons from Big Lots are wonderful!! The CE idea for keeping the twine knotted is a great one....TFS! I like the punched leaves and the swirl you added to the vase. Great job all around, KAren!!

Nice job with the twine challenge, Karen. Adorable chipboard buttons. So glad you joined the StampinB this week with your colors. Psst..you left the 't' out of StampinB. If you'll change it, your card will go to that gallery.

What a neat idea to use the Crystal Effects to hold the knot. I like your layout, makes me think the vase of flowers is on a window sill with a blind behind it.
