Hope you can understand.

Ok, today is the first Sunday of the month so that means time for a new challenge over at Great Impressions Blog. This month our challenge is "A button and a bow", easy peasy right?

So, this is the card I created, I used Large Stitched Flower and a partial sentiment from Thankful for you. I created this card for a friend of mine, sadly I haven't sent it yet, but it will be in the mail first thing in the morning.
