Buttons, Burlap, and Bows - OH MY!

That's what our challenge is made of - at Our Creative Corner, of course!

Our hostess, Linda Coughlin of The Funkie Junkie is back with you for a second week with a fun challenge.   Just two required ingredients, but they are some of our favorite embellishments - Buttons and  Burlap or Bows (must include buttons and either burlap or bows or both).  Easy peasy and lots of fun, right?  So grab your buttons and your burlap and your bows.  Let's see what you can do!

Here is my design team card to give you some inspiration.
I used navy cardstock and white embossed it with the this gorgeous Hero Arts Background stamp, Floral Vine Background.  I added a strip of white burlap from The Funkie Junkie Boutique

I created the flower using my Silhouette SL with a piece of rosy pink cardstock. The stem of the flower is done with a die from Papertry Ink - Rosie Posie and digi paper from My Time Made Easy.  I love this pretty, fresh color palette!
Please drop by Our Creative Corner and join in on our challenge.  Also, check out the awesome projects from the rest of the design team - they are amazing!

Hello Marcy
I agree it is clean and fresh; your Bg is full of drama and your flower in the warm Pink compliments it beautifully.
Smiles:)

So loving the navy and white! I really use navy but you've inspired me to. The pop of pink in the flower is a stunner against the burlap...just beautiful Marcy!
