It's
Sharon who has set the challenge for us this week and the challenge is to make a card using buttons as a main design element. I also had a double challenge this week as I needed to make a Christening card for my cousins three little ones. I've not got a massive supply of pastel pretty baby kind of colours in my supplies and the card needed to work for both girls and boys so I decided to go for yellow and blue. For the button element I decided to make some trim with buttons on. I used some calico and tore a strip then just stitched the buttons on. I made a big long length of it so I'm thinking of making a box for the card and wrapping some more of the button trim around it.
I might also add on the names onto each of the bears I'm not certain yet but it would be nice to incorporate the names somewhere I think?
Well hope you join in with the challenge this week. Pop onto the Daring Cardmakers blog to see what the rest of the design team have been cooking up!

Oooh it's so lovely Leo! How nice to receive such a gorgeous card especially if it's wrapped up in a box with matching trim.
I think adding the names would be a lovely touch as well. :)
Btw, is the paper Collage Press? If so I have some bits of it left over from a Self-Addressed kit - one of my favourite ever papers they provided. :D
This is so adorable! Adding names would be the perfect
Finishing touch - are the bears toosmall to add bibs with names on?
Such a sweet card Leo. I agree, names would look great stitched across the little bears tummies. Did you crochet those as well? This is a wonderful keepsake of their christening.
What a wonderful card. it looks so touchy feely. The trim around the box would be amazing!
That is just soooo sweet!! I love those bears (and I think adding the names would be brill). The buttons look great, what a fab idea.
Ah Leo, this is so sweet, I love the teddy bears!
