The featured stamper today is hobbydujour - a fabulously talented stamper whose work I've always admired! Choosing a card in her gallery was difficult, but I noticed she often uses twine with buttons...so, I picked this card (SC299 Autumn Pumpkin by hobbydujour at Splitcoaststampers) that used twine and then I used the same layout, but changed colors, stamps, papers, etc. to create this CASE. I added silver glass glitter to the flower centers...such fun sparkle! I cut a 2 3/4 inch square of scrap pale pink polka dotted DP, the created a medallion by punching the arch lattice border punch on all 4 sides. The square was too large for my layout, so I cut off the frame edge and layered it on some Blushing Bride CS and it was the perfect size I needed.
STAMPS: Bountiful Backgrounds (Verve) - subtlely stamped on the brown panel; One Person (Verve) - flower; Dream Big (Verve) - leaves.
PAPER: Pastel Mat Pad by Me & My Big Ideas, Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip
INK: Memento Rich Cocoa, Pear Pizzazz
ACCESSORIES: Silver Glass glitter (SU), Arch lattice border punch by MS, Twine, Dimensionals, Vintage button (PTI)

What a pretty card, Wanda! Isn't it funny how we don't realize how we use things over and over ourselves, until someone points it out!! LOL You're right..buttons and twine seem to be my "go to" accent! Your card is wonderful with the glitter-centered blossoms, punched elements, and pretty DPs all in great colors. Thanks so much for making my day special by creating this "eye-opening" card! : ) Sallie
