Buttons and Bows
I thought I would pull out my watercolour crayons for this week's challenge at Come and Get It Challenges. The challenge is to make a card and use a button and ribbon in your design. I used this pretty digital image from Oak Pond Creations, one of our sponsors this week for my card. The image is called simply Tulips. I thought it was perfect for using watercolours.

Once I had watercoloured my tulips I embossed around my image with a couple of rectangle dies and added a sentiment and of course my bow and button. To be truthful the ribbon and button were suppose to go where the thank you was but I forgot the theme of the challenge was while I was putting the card together so I added it to the side of the card. I liked how it worked.
Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. Don't forget to stop by our challenge blog to see the beautiful creations the design team has created to inspire you.
