Button, button...who's got the button?

Did you ever play that game..."Button, Button, who's got the button?"  It's definitely an oldie.  Anyway, the challenge over at Young Crafter's Unite is buttons!  I couldn't resist this challenge.  I love to add buttons to my cards and scrapbook pages.  There is also a sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. So I made a card to incorporate both challenges.

To create this card, I arranged  sixblue buttons and one red button into a shape of a flower.  I attached this flower to vellum with Elmer's Craft Bond glue spots.  From green patterned paper (a piece from my scrap stash), I cut a stem and leaves and adhered it.  The hexagon frame is recycled from a game. I remember thinking as we punched the came pieces from the cardboard that I ought to save it for a craft.  I'm glad I did.  The red cardstock is also from my scrap stash and I dry embossed it with a Fiskars embossing plate and stylus.  I inked the white card base with Tim Holtz Broken China  Distress Ink and added an sentiment that I printed on vellum.  The ribbon came from a spool with other coordinating ribbons (I couldn't find the name brand).
