Sketch and Stash challenge 1 card

Sketch and Stash is a new challenge blog set up by my friend Becky, my friend Lisa is also on the design team. The idea is every 2 weeks Becky will post a new sketch to work from, and you have to use new stash making it, could be 1 item could be all.
Here is my card for challenge 1 I have turned the sketch 90% anti-clockwise, the 'new' stash is the button, my local craft shop in town sells bags of mixed buttons for £1 a few days ago I bought 3 bags to go with the several that I already have Lol!! Also the papers are from a 'new' paper pad/booklet that came free with last months Crafts Beautiful mag (I know it was last month, but this was the first time I used it honest!) the image is a download available from Sally-Ann at Love to Doodle
here is a close up of the rosette (don't know if there is an actual name for these) I love making them, sometimes just 1 layer and a button or gem, other times several layers, I think they look really effective and a change from flowers!
I have just discovered that this card is also perfect for this weeks Papertake Weekly challenge which is 'Seeing spots' oh I love it when that happens!!
Back tomorrow with my A Spoon Full of Sugar design team card. First challenge of the new year, hope to see you there.

P.S. Don't forget, new challenge blog Charisma Cards whom I am lucky enough to be on the design team of goes live this Thursday 8th Jan, and it's a nice easy challenge to start with so no excuses for not joining in!!!
