Free Image Card

It started buy buying some crafty bits, you know how it is right?

I bought a pack of buttons, pretty metal ones and soon realised that the packaging was just too darn pretty to throw away.

I carefully removed the buttons then got to work adapting the packaging into a card.

Really it was like one of those buy 1 and get 1 free moments.

The patterned card and the images all came from the button box. Santoro Mirabelle from Riverside Crafts in Market Deeping.

I did use one of the buttons entwined into a silk ribbon.

Also a Fantastic Ribbons ribbon and a Mei Flower ribbon slide and pearls.
