Welcome March!
This week's challenge on Paperplay Challenges is "Something Old, Something New".
This challenge "called" to me on several levels - when I hear that saying it reminds me of Wedding and a Bride. I also adore buttons and had lots of beautiful ones with sparkle on them in my stash.
So my old/new is old vintage buttons and new paper.
I hand stitched the buttons to a diecut heart which I then embellished with some pearls
Edited to add - when I made this card I knew I had seen a button heart somewhere but just couldn't remember where the inspiration had come from.... then I found it! Heather over on Stamping and Stitching had her card featuring a button heart on Paper Crafts Magazine this month.
Challenges
Love to Create - Real or faux stitching
A Passion for Papertrey - Needle and thread
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Divas by Design - Spots and/or Stripes
Little Darlings Challenge - Pearls
Thanks for peeking - hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.
