Buttons and String

We were challenged to make a card for our Dads last week, which of course, means something masculine, so I dragged out my button box and a roll of string and started to play.  The card below is what I finally ended up with.  Next time I think I might pay a little more attention to keeping the strings straight and evenly spaced... do you think Dad will notice??

    Wow - this looks great! I love it! I don't think your father will notice the spacing - I didn't. Everything looks intentional. This is a great use of buttons too! KT

    Wonderful idea! I love it - and could make a wonderful card for a family member who would enjoy the recycling of those "family vintage buttons" we all own!

    I'm glad you didn't pay attention to keeping the strings straight and evenly spaced. I think it would have taken away from the loveliness of the card.
