This is a card I made a while ago when I fancied doing some sewing and thought these buttons added a bit of extra interest.
Not sure how I came up with the design or sentiment, I probably saw something that led to the design but think it will make a good male card for an autumnal birthday or retirement or even a thank you card.
Buttons are from a kit not sure where from
silks and fabric from my stash

Fabulous Julye, I really appreciate the work involved in the stitching. So theraputic to do though.
I tried to email you regarding the boxes that I used and it was bounced back to me with a permanent error. If you can email me on crafteezee@gmail.com, I can give you all the details.
Thanks,

A brilliant card. The stitched panel and the buttons are fabulous. I just love the cute ladybird.

This is really special. I love how the letters are all different shades, it's a celebration of Fall! Thanks for joining in with us at Opus Gluei, we hope to see you again!
Oooo' Julye .... I love those buttons and you have placed them so naturally to reflect the falling leaves of Autumn. I used to really enjoy cross stitching until the eyes became too old to continue so it is lovely to have your work here to enjoy. There are so many uses for such a beautiful card.Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)

This is a wonderful celebration of Autumn. I love Fall and you have done a great job with the colors and the stitching. Thanks so much for playing along with us at OPUS GLUEI.
What a lovely piece of cross and straight stitch Julye! The fact that you have used leaf shaped buttons for your embellishments is so cute! The little ladybird is wonderful!

Oh, I really like this and yes, it is VERY versatile and would be treasured by any recipient. I like that you considered it for a man because I think men do like color and would enjoy something with texture. What a lovely combo of my two favorite things - papercrafting and cross-stitch!
Thank you for taking the time to share your creativity with us at Opus Gluei! I hope you return for more challenges with us.
What a fabulous idea! And those buttons are perfect! Thank you for joining us at Robyn's Fetish Challenge this week, hope to see you again soon!
