One of my dearest friends happens to be turning 30 in a few days, and her hubby is throwing a surprise party for her this evening. She loves all things vintage (her house is absolutely gorgeous - all decorated with garage sale finds that I would totally pass by but she sees the potential!) so I wanted to use some more of the K&Co Classic paper, but I hadn't decided exactly what to do. I saw this week's sketch challenge on splitcoast (SC144) and I had my starting point.The hardest part was choosing which patterns to use - I finally settled on this paisley as the focal point, then layered it with several others. The final touch was the buttons. I wouldn't normally think to do this, but I had my button tin out (from the teeny little one on the flower in my "joy" frame) so I played around a bit. Love the result, although not exactly practical if you're planning to mail the card. But this one will be lovingly hand delivered, so it's all good!!
