Hi everyone, here's a card I made for my father-in-law.
It's a 4.25” square card. I used one of the large buttons from my Father’s Day Key Ingredients as a mat to the #1 Dad sentiment. See the “threading” in the small button at the top?....that’s a tiny sliver of the DP. I’ve learned from visiting Jody’s (texasjodylynn) blog that buttons should ALWAYS be threaded with something….and she's absolutely right, buttons do look better when there’s something threaded through the holes.
Here’s a close-up. The sentiment inside the button is up on foam tape, so is the large Buttercream panel on the card base:
Here’s the inside:
