April is a busy birthday month for us; my dad, my mom and my sister all have birthdays this month. This card is for my dad. Brown is his favorite color and I just love this chevron paper and the feel it adds to the card.
Here is a close up of the sweet image and those "faux" buttons. I used button dies from PTI layered them on top of cardboard cut out of the same dies for dimension and then added diamond glaze to give them a nice shiny look; just like a real button.
