I decided to use a rolled rose in place of a button on this card. I love the look of it! I embossed the image with Zing embossing powder on the brown cardstock.
I used two colors of twine from The Twinery on this card (you can purchase the color that matches Hawaiian Shores, called Caribbean, in rolls of 10 yards in my Etsy shop). I sewed the buttons onto the lace using the Cappuccino twine and then wrapped a few rows of the Caribbean twine around the top of the lace.
I just love all the shades of aqua...one of my favorite colors!
So, now onto my exciting news! You have heard me talk about how much I love the twine from The Twinery before, well, I was asked to join The Twinery's "I Design with Twine" design team!! Yippee!! I've been a fan of their twine since the moment I laid eyes on it. Then, when I received my order in the mail, I was even more excited! The colors are spectacular (and they are working on new colors too!!) and so bright! The white that each color is entwined with is such a nice vibrant white too! LOVE!!
Thanks for stopping by today and letting me share not only my card but my fun announcement too!
