For today's card, I wanted to use the "Noel" tag from the Holidays mini hostess set and I decided to pair it with the snowman from the Button Buddies set. For my colour combo, I knew I wanted to use Bashful Blue since I had buttons in that colour, so I pulled out my reference list of old cQc colours combo and found one that used this colour.
I kept the card simple because this will be Card #4 for my Button Buddies class (keep a close eye on my class schedule to register for a place if you're interested in making your own sample). To make the sentiment complete, I inked part of a sentiment from the Many Merry Messages set with a marker and added it to a strip of Always Artichoke cardstock.
The Old Olive designer paper comes from the Brights paper pack and the blue cardstock was embossed with the Northern Flurry embossing folder. I embellished the snowman with a deep red brad from the Royals pack and I added two mini silver brads to the button before gluing it on the snowman. I love those mini brads, they are a great size for small detailing on an image! I also added a rhinestone on the L of Noël, and I finished the card off with a white brad and a knot of Olive polka dot scallop ribbon.
Color Combo: Bashful Blue + Old Olive + Always Artichoke + Bravo Burgundy
