Clean, Simple, and Cute as a Button

Clear and Simple Stamps is sponsoring this week’s CAS-ual Fridays challenge and it’s a good one! This week’s challenge is a recipe challenge—1 pattern or background, 1 image, and 1 sentiment. Here’s my simple and sweet baby card for the challenge.

I used the button background builder from one of CSS’s new background sets, Playroom, to make a patterned panel for my card. I stamped the button image repeatedly in pink ink on a white background, then rubbed a little pink distress ink around the edges for a soft look. After attaching a solid pink strip to the bottom of the panel and layering it on a gray mat, I attached a piece of A Blanc Check satin ribbon to the panel, wrapping one end of the ribbon around the panel and leaving one end of the ribbon so it extends off of the panel.

The focal image is a girly pink baby onesie, die cut with the Tiny Fashions die set and stamped with the matching image from the coordinating Tiny Fashions stamp set. I used foam tape to set the onesie on the background panel, then stamped the “cute as a button” sentiment from the Baby Sentiments stamp set directly on the ribbon in gray ink.
