Thank you cards are one of the most commonly used cards that we reach for, so we can never have too many on hand for when we need them! This fun and simple project combines Sakura watercolors with our bright “Fiesta” Button Bonanza bag to create a bouquet of button flowers for you to send to someone special.
Supplies:
- Buttons Galore Button Bonanza in Fiesta
- Bella Blvd “Family Forever” Patterned Paper (yellow stripe)
- Bazzill Smooth Cardstock in Ocean Breeze
- White Card Blank
- Stampendous “Thoughtful Wishes” stamps
- Ranger Adirondack Ink in Pitch Black
- Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch Box
- Waterbrushes
- DMC floss in White
Our Buttons Galore “Fiesta” Button Bonanza bag is full of bright colors that are perfect for making little flowers! To start your card, pick three buttons in different colors and sizes for making your button flowers. Then set the bag aside.
Next, cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of the yellow striped paper. Adhere to front of card blank.
Cut a 3.75″ x 5″ piece of Ocean Breeze cardstock.
Using watercolors & a water brush, paint green grass and three flower stems on the cardstock. Vary the heights of the stems, but make sure to leave enough room between the tallest one and the top for adding the buttons and the sentiment!
Stamp the sentiment across the top of the card.
To make the flowers, sew the buttons on to the ends of the stems with embroidery floss. Tie the knot in the front and snip ends so they will fray a bit to make a center for the flower.
Adhere the blue cardstock on top of the yellow striped paper.
Your card is done! Now it’s time to write a message of thanks inside and deliver a bit of sunshine and gratitude to someone special!
