I got the inspiration for this card from Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/506303183099839885/). After I determined the placement of my buttons, I marked the top of each with a pencil. I used those lines as a guide to stamp my ornament toppers, and then stamped the dotted lines from the ornament toppers to the top of my panel. I think that stamp (from "Deck the Halls") may actually be intended for garland, but I think it makes a good ball chain, too! After my ink was thoroughly dry, I stamped the bows in Versamark, and heat embossed with Red Dragon powder. This powder has gold sparkle bits in it, and looks really pretty IRL. Finally, I stamped my greeting in Black Shimmer, and glued on my buttons with Ranger Multi Medium Matte. After the glue dried, I sewed through the button holes with a pale grey embroidery floss that matched my background cardstock. I adhered my panel to red cardstock, and mounted that to a white card base.
