Using lace and buttons - Country View Crafts challenge August 24

Lace and Buttons on a greeting card was the theme over at Country View Challenges for August, but I'm a bit late posting this. It was my first contribution to the design team inspirations.


A piece of corrugated cardboard box was used to mount the focal image and embellishments and give it some height.
I found three buttons in my button box and added 2 layers of lace, one bought lace and the other a diecut from TH Crochet Thinlits.
I distressed the real lace a little with distress ink and added some threads around the buttons.

I really rather like this shabby vintage card, I'm sure it will come in useful.
