Buttons n thread

I made this little card last night after finding out last minute that it was someones birthday today! I've had the idea of making cards with vintage buttons for a while, I thought it would be a nice gift for someone who (like me) loves old buttons and fabrics as they can cut them off and use them afterwards. 
 


Than I added some lettering and butterfly stamps, although I think I prefer it without.
Please let me know what you think of it or if you have any links to other card makers and crafters for inspiration. I really do appreciate your feedback! Thanks :)

Cheerio and good day to you all x

    Thanks for your sweet comment. Mod Podge is also called decoupage. Maybe you have that? Mod Podge is just the brand name that is popular here.

  7. Thankyou, I completely agree about the butterflies, really the only reason I put them on is because I'd just bought the stamp and I wanted to try them out! Ive just bought a "happy birthday" stamp, so I wont have to hand print each letter next time! yey!
    thanks for visiting, I really appreciate the feedback :)
