Birthday Buttons

Good afternoon!  Seems like I get later and later every day this week - ha!  Well today I have another quick CAS card - this time using FTL#141.

I pulled out What a Card from Mint Motif at i {heart} papers and began seeing the lone strip of poker chips as buttons so I decided to give it a try!  What do you think? Buttons right?

I decided on colors from the Dutch Mustard Soup pad by Jillibean Soup.  I stamped the "buttons" on X-Press Copic Cardstock which I really love for it's great blendability!!  After coloring the buttons I punched holes in them and tied on the twine.  I love this simple layout and in case you were wondering my card measures 5" x 3.5" - perfect for smaller scale designs.

I tried a few things in the place of the circle accent but most just overpowered the card so I ended up going with a Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die cut layered with two color coordinated buttons.

Thanks so much for visiting today!  Have a great weekend!
