I took the textured background and central image with underlying sentiment as my inspiration.
Soft Graphite ink on a MFT Burlap stamp form the background for my PTI buttons. The buttons were cut from coaster paper, layered with red, white and a print paper, then covered with Glossy Accents. I ran some thread through the holes to give them a finishing touch. The inside says "What would a youngster like you know about vintage? Happy Birthday!" I figure I have a number of "old" friends that would get a kick out of it.
My desk is covered with the makings of a number of cards and it's bugging me so I'm going to spend the day finishing up and cleaning off so I can spend tomorrow putting the border on a quilt.
Have a great weekend every body and thanks for stopping by.
