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.
Blog Hop day tomorrow, be sure to hop back here.
