My Wonderful Friend

It's time again for another Limelight sketch & product challenge. The focus this time is on buttons. I was able to combine something old and new on this card. My new goodies are the paper and buttons from BasicGrey's Lemonade line. The something old is Purely Pomegranate and Soft Sky cardstock, which goes so well with the BG stuff. My hoarding came in handy today! ;)

I also learned that I can use a rub-on, then run it through my Cuttlebug without ruining it. I thought maybe the sentiment might crack or something, but it turned out just fine.

Speaking of Limelight, I'm getting some free goodies from them for winning last week's Etsy Inspired challenge. Woohoo! You can't go wrong with free goodies!

Paper: Purely Pomegranate, Soft Sky, BasicGrey dp
Accessories: flowers (Prima), buttons (BasicGrey), rub-on (SU), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots

    This is beautiful! I just love that dp and love how you used the buttons. Great to know you can do rub ons with the cuttlebug. Love the texture and color too.

    Yeah, I've been using lots of Purely Pomegranate and Soft Sky with this line, too! I have found that I love the pop of the new Bermuda Bay with it, too! Yay for new things! ;) Your card is GORGEOUS...very clever to use the Cuttlebug on a rub-on piece. And the different sized buttons are great! Your card will be featured on Monday! :)

    My fav part of this card is again the flower and the button in it.
    But the PP is stunning too, really a match.

    What a great layout. Such a fun way to show off some very busy patterned paper without it overtaking the whole card. Great tip on rub ons and embossing too.
