Less is more #13 meets Clean and Simple

Morning everyone ,

It's Lucky dip week this week at LIM , our first because April happens to fall with 5 weeks .
In celebration of the success of this great weekly challenge blog we are required to make a Thank you or Congratulations card , it certainly is great fun and inspirational taking part , and was the first challenge blog to get me started on my blog. This week Kerry is a Guest designer too so hop over and check out the blog links .
Thank you Chrissie and Mandi X

I've decided to make a Thank you card and combine the design sketch from Clean & Simple too .
The buttons are made using dies from MFT that cut and emboss the buttons at the same time . The patterned card is Pink Petticoat digi papers , I printed onto various textures of light cardstock to get different effects including off cuts of glossy photo paper to make the shiny buttons . 
I've stitched a border and then used a quikutz needle die to embellish the sentiment , which is 'Fiddle Farts Dotty Font' which I bought from Helen's blog . The colours are following Emilie's Colour Combo for this week and this is the Clean and Simple sketch .


Thanks for looking xx
