I have to laugh at myself. I watched Nicole Heady's wonderful technique video in which she demonstrates how to make a hand drawn frame. Well, the video is great and the technique looks easy. This card is the result of my FIFTH attempt. I just could not get the corners right. In the end, I cheated a little and put half pearls in the corners because I was not satisfied with my corners on any of my attempts. Nichole's is perfect and gorgeous - mine - not so much. I do love the way the card turned out though. I really like the addition of the DMC thread on the buttons. It gives the buttons a "sunflower" feel.

Loving the buttons on the flowers!
great card
Love this card. I agree, the floss in the buttons is a wonderful touch. I also had to laugh that Nicole makes it look sooooo easy, but I'm with you. It took several attempts to get satisfactory results. But the effort was worth it. I love the pearls in the corners. I would have never known they were to correct a boo-boo. They are a nice touch. Enjoy the day.
You are a natural when it comes to buttons and color too! This is just beautifully bright, cheerful, and pretty too1
