This was such a fun and easy card to make. The base is Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock. I cut a second mat of the same paper so I could do the stitching and not have it show on the inside of the card. I also stamped it with a splotch stamp. Kinda looks like some of those chicken eggs huh.
The band across the center was punched out of Buff Ivory Cover Weight cardstock I also used some of this paper to cover the handmade buttons I used for the flower centers. The buttons are three layers of chipboard glued together. The bows are tied with Red Bakers Twine. For the sentiment I used a Round Metal Edge Grungy Prim Tag. Hope it makes you smile.
