For this challenge we were given both the sketch to use and some beautiful buttons from this month's Sketches in Thyme sponsor, Charlene's Button Box. For this card, I opted to use these cute little Christmas tree buttons... but instead of using them as trees... I decided to make them holly leaves instead. They do kind look like leaves when coupled with the berries... right? (At any rate, in my world they do!). :-) I decided to keep the card just as clean and simple as the sketch.... because I really wanted the holly "leaves" to shine through. Aren't those trees....errrr leaves cute as a button! :-)... (I just couldn't let that pun pass me by... sorry about that!)
The patterned paper is from The Girl's Paperie Tinsel & Twig Collection. I also used a Hero Arts stamp and Red Baker's Twine from Jillibean Soup and those berries I hacked off a big sprig of them that I bought at Meijer in the floral department. Now you just have to hop on over to Sketches in Thyme and see the rest of the Team B reveal... the cards are gorgeous!
