Cute as a button, CR84FN challenge

Hi!  I'm sharing a Valentine card that I made for my sister.  Sorry Sis, that you're seeing this before you receive it in the mail!!!  I usually don't post a card that I haven't yet sent to her.

This card is going into the current challenge at CR84FN70.  AND I just found out that the CR84FN challenge blog is ending soon.  This is their last challenge :(   That piece of news is sad, because I  always loved the color combinations they created.  Always so pretty!

Here's the color palette for CR84FN70.

And, my card ~

Those 2 little girls in the photo are my sister and me.  I'm the oldest.  I've always loved this photo, despite those extremely short bangs I had!  Isn't my sister just as "cute as a button" as the sentiment says?

I used several dies for this card, along with a vintage button (just the right color!) and some seam binding ribbon.  Oh.  And, of course, stamps.  I'll list my supplies below.  It was such a fun card to create, although it took a lot longer than I thought it would.  I know, I know...as usual.  Anyway, I like the results :)

Thanks for taking the time to look today!
