Hello All!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
This week's challenge over @ "The Next Level" is an easy one! That should get everyone over there to enter! All you need to do is create a card with BUTTONS and BOWS.
Please make sure and check out all of TNL DT's cards. They are soooo cute!
Mine is done with a cute little "Stampin Up" teddy bear that already comes with a button and a bow. I stamped him on cream colored cardstock. There is no white on this card.
Then I was lucky enough to find this awesome crochet lace and buttons trim and based my colors for the card off of it. Check out the cute little button brads that I used for my flower centers too.
The cardstocks used on this one are Bazzill Dots, Core'dinations, and DCWV. I do not know the DP. It was from my scrap bin... sorry.
I am also entering this card in:
Cute Card Thursday Challenge 67 - Stitch in Time! They want to see some kind of stitching real or faux.
As you all know...I always stitch my cards! I can't help myself! LOL!
Charisma Cardz Challenge 26 - Buttons
I think this card meets that requirement too! LOL!
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 39- 3 Ribbons. They can be alike or different but you have to have 3.
I used my 3 ribbons in the form of bows.
The Pink Elephant Challenge 21 - Use your favorite color combo.
I go thru stages! Right now, it is purple and green which are the main colors on this card.
Pile It On- Use 3 different types of embellishments and enter multiple challenges.
I used bows, buttons, and flowers, and am in multiple challenges!
This card also fits into "Simon Says Challenge" where they are asking you to paper piece a non colored part of your image. The teddy's bow, feet and paw are all pieced from the same purple paper as the rectangular piece the lace trim is on.
This week's comment candy is a surprise grab bag!
It will be well worth the time it takes to leave a quick message. I can tell you that one of the items in the grab bag will be a piece of this awesome button trim like I used on my card, so you can come up with your own special button creation! ALL you have to do to have a chance at winning is to leave a comment about this card! Just my way of saying THANKS for taking the time to make a card artist's day! I will post the winner the evening of Sunday, July 12th.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs to you all!

I am totally in love with this button trim. I have never seen anything like it, so cute!
True what an adorable card, and the trim is to die for!! I've never seen anything like it! Have a wonderful day!
Wow, you certainly outdid yourself on this one, True!! I just love everything about it - the colors, the button brads and of course the button trim. Wherever did you find it??? I hope I win some of it. And I am amazed at how many challenges you were able to hit with this one - you go girl!!
Your card is awesome. Love how you did the buttons across the bottom. What an amazing DT.
soooo pretty!

OUTSTANDING!! This card is the best. I love all the buttons. True, this card is adorable.
Wow! I love this card! You definitely have an eye for detail. It must have taken you hours to put together with all the ribbons & buttons and machine stitching. Sure wish I could sew. What more can I say, but simply stunning.
That trim is gorgeous and so unusal I have never seen anything like it before. Love your card it is so full of life.

Love this card! Love the way you colored your bear and that trim is so cute and unique! Great job!
I have been selling on ebay for about a year and I knew that I recognized you from there!! I have always enjoyed looking at your amazing cards and this one is no exception! You actually inspired me to start sewing on my cards! I have been sewing all of my scrap pages for ebay (you pretty much have to), but I had never sewn on my cards before. This card is amazing! I love the color combination that you used and the stamp, but that crochet trim is awesome! I actually thought that you made it yourself since I have never seen anything like it! Your blog is awesome, also~I wish that I was talented enough to do a really great one like this!!
hi True,
not sure if someone already said it but the design paper is from Making Memories, I just can't remember the collection. I have some that I bought at Tuesday Morning. Now about your card, I haven't seen that teddy in sometime and it is so glad to see him in your card, your coloring is great but I must say it is your layerings that I just LOVE... and can't get enough of.
Thanks for Playing with us at Pile It On!
