Nautical with Crafty Ribbons

Good morning to you all

and welcome to the next challenge at


where our lovely Marianne has chosen the theme of


Nautical

and here is my inspiration, however do hope over and see the rest of the gorgeous eye candy from the Buttons team.


I made a little boys birthday card


The base layer and contrast is kraft card.  I used some of the Xmas papers from Lily of the Valley.  The image is a topper from the Hobby House, cut into a small nestie circle.  I used my pierced MFT dies to create the layered depth frame.  I used some silver brads and red twine to create the trim.  I added the buttons down the panel, distressed the edges, added some Whimsy dies to the corners along with a sentiment tag, a charm and of course the double ribbon and little rhinestone sparkler to complete the look.

hugs
Kate
