Flower Button Birthday Card – With Room For Improvement.

This card measures 4.25ins x 4.25ins using a white linen effect card blank. 
Button Flower CardThis card seemed to make itself, it wasn’t the idea I had in my head when I sat down to make it,  but I think, in part, it’s worked……

The flower buttons came from The Works (Children’s Crafts) and the silver foiled sentiment from Craftwork Cards.  I started by seeing if  the largish clear flat back gems I already had would fit in the middle of the flowers
Button Flower Card. 1My original idea was simply to put the three flowers in a row and just doodle a stem on each with a few leaves, but it just looked pants.  That’s when I got out the silver foiled sentiment, mat and layered it  and then arranged the flowers round it.

However, coming back to it again now I think I could go up an inch or two on a card blank, using this card as a topper to make it look more balanced, less crowded and in better proportion.  Here I go again, watch this space!
