OK, I have to start with a confession...I didn't think I could play in today's challenge because I have a phobia about loose buttons. I admire the creative way people use them, but they give me the heebie jeebies. (I'm sure a psychiatrist could have a field day with this!) Then I got the idea to use pearl embelliishments as buttons on a shirt and off I went...I used Washi paper for the shirt, sentiment and border strip and another for the BG panel. I wanted more of the pink to show on the shirt, but I still like it. I ran the light blue Washi panel through a tropical leaf EF. Here is a tutorial for making the shirt:
I cut an extra slit at the neckline to make the shirt more casual.

Your shirt is fab! And the little pearls look great on it for buttons. It's hard to figure out, with patterned paper and folds like that, where the pattern will end up. Easier with real fabric and dress-making!
