STEPH, did you read my mind?!? Did you offer this challenge just for ME?!? Heehee! I was just sayin yesterday, when I posted my cards for the SC373 challenge, how much I LOVED buttons and that I had a TON and wanted to use them, so I did on both of my cards! One had 11 buttons on it. Anyway ... now I have a "real" button challenge. Yeah-hoo!
I found this awesome piece of Crate paper in my stash. It that had this groovy design on it. Perfect to trim for a square card. I used my Prima watercolor pencils/blender and Ranger distress ink to add a bit more color. I stamped Kim Hughes, CHF little owl and colored him. Stamped the Hero Arts sentiment. I added some SU punched daisies which I distressed w/Ranger di and added misc. orange buttons. I also added a Memory Box mini scallop die cut under the sentiment.
THANKS for looking!

What a sweet card for encouragement - so bright and cheerful. Love how you incorporated the flowers and buttons in the design of the paper, and that little owl is the cutest. The recipient is sure to love this.
