The background paper is from Bearly Mine Designs and is meant to be stones but I thought it looked just like a giraffe skin!  The image is from Anne Fenton as part of The Outlawz CFC Challenge listed above.  The ribbon is a satin ribbon from American Crafts.  The lovely large button is one I raided (with her permission) from my Mum's button box.  I had a raid on it last year and took alot of the smaller ones but had another raid on it this year and took a range of sizes this time.  There is actually not much left in the box now I've had two goes at it.  This particular button had a shank on it which my Dad removed for me so it would sit flat.  The matting on this card is orange cardstock and the sentiment comes from Sans Designs.

  6. If you hadn't said that the paper was supposed to be stones I too would have thought it was giraffe spots. Sweet image too! And another just for you! You are really making use of these aren't you?!
