HOC March Shabby/Vintage

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a card for the House of Cards March Challenge. 

This month the only requirement is that we use a button.

A friend of mine gave me a handful of vintage buttons that she had found at a yard sale.  

This Beautiful Blue baby was one of them. 

It matched perfectly with these gorgeous Graphic45 Botanical Tea papers.

A few pearls:

And some pretty lace:

This lace is pretty thick, so I didn't want to wrap it around the paper leaving a big bump.  I cut it about an inch longer than my paper, adhered it right up to the edges.  Then I ran a little Fraycheck right along the edge of the paper where I wanted to cut the lace.  Let it dry, cut it and it hasn't frayed in a few days.  Love the way it looks.

Head on over to the HOC blog and check out all of the inspiration.

Thanks
Ang
