DCM – Something Old, Something New

It’s Lythan’s turn to set the challenge this week over at Daring Cardmakers and she chose the theme ‘Something old, something new, etc.’   For my something old, I used these gorgeous vintage buttons, something new is the text stamp – I haven’t bought any crafty goodies for a few months, but the last thing I bought was some Papertrey stamp sets, and this is one of them, so it’s the newest thing I have!  Something borrowed is tricky, but you could say I ‘borrowed’ this idea as I’ve seen a few cards with this button heart idea.  For the something blue I’ve added a blue strip underneath the kraft card, and some little blue pearls. 

You might notice these pictures are better than those on my blog recently – that’s because my fabulous boyfriend has just bought me a lovely Canon camera.  I’m still getting the hang of it, but for my first attempt I’m pretty happy with these photos.  My only issue now is that I don't have internet access at home - I'm battling with Virgin media to try and get set up some time before I'm 90!!

I've seen these button heart cards too - they're always so effective and so pretty - just like yours! I really love the sentiment too.

I love the elegance of this card. The buttons look fabulous and the strip/pearls on the bottom edge just finish it all off so perfectly

What a lovely selection of gorgeous buttons you have used for your hear. The PTI sentiment is such a lovely font and looks perfet on the strip of craft paper.

I love the buttons!! What a great idea to shape them as a heart. Very cool. I might have to borrow that idea from you sometime. Good job.
