Lucy's Buttons Challenge

Thought I would join in  Lucy's blog challenge and make a card that included buttons.  I haven't used my kraft cardstock in ages, I had forgotten just how well it goes with everything.....!

The bird cage was given to me by my blogging buddy and friend Shirl and it was cut out using her Gypsy. 

The buttons and bow are from Papermania

The bird image is from a set called Gilded Cages by Craftwork Cards

The sentiment is from a stamp set by Paula Pascual.

Black, White, Grey, Buttons, Flowers and Bows

I've sold some of my cards recently and with the money I went along to my craft shop for a spend up! I bought some of the Papermania Capsule Collection buttons, flowers and bows (and in all the colours!!!) but decided yesterday to "challenge" myself to use the black, grey and white sets, along with some card blanks that I've had in my stash for quite a while now......... I kept the designs very simple - and I'm liking the results - for a quick card these are great!
