Papertrey Anniversary - Pinterest Challenge: Turqoise Bicycle

I am loving the turquoise bicycle I pinned on Pinterest and it gave me an idea to use my Everyday Button Bits set from PTI.  Here's the inspiration:

I took a piece of turquoise card stock and stamped it with a sentiment and bicycle image from the set before running it through with the Linen Impression plate to add some texture.  I took two buttons and used some rustic jute twine and glue dots.

I find glue dots work best to adhere things like buttons, especially when they have twine!  They will stay stuck and there will be no problem with them potentially falling off.  They are there to stay!

Supplies:
Paper: Staples 110lb white, PTI Hawaiian Shores
Stamps: PTI Everyday Button Bits
Ink: Jenni Bowlin spiced tin (navy)
Misc: PTI buttons, rustic jute twine, glue dots

A little inspiration - buttons

While browsing some blogs for inspiration, I happened upon this:

How gorgeous is this?!  Kalyn created this gorgeous card on her blog Paper is Love and I thought I would change it up a bit using what I had. ... as soon as I saw this beautiful creation, I thought I could use some of my new buttons and twine from a recent order at The Steam Trunk.  It's a Canadian company and has super fast shipping and great prices.  So glad I finally get to try out some twine!

I changed up the design a bit because as soon as I saw her card, I thought of a TicTacToe board with an X and O message of kisses and hugs. I used PTI's woodgrain impression plate and Basic Grey's Urban Prairie stickers.  Some twine and buttons and voilà!
