Walter holding flowers

This weeks themed challenge on CMLI was set by GDT Clare and was 'Cut it out... I said button it and knot it!'. A great one I thought! I have made this card using Walter the Owl download (Willow Designs) and have cut him out (along with cutting out the apeture). The knots are in the ribbon and the buttons are obviuos. The apeture has a shaker behind it with silver and pink glitter.I will enter this card into a number of challenges this week:

Pear Tree Designs (theme- animals);

CES (theme- floral frenzy);

DCD (pins and pearls- the first time I have made a pin and added it to a card- I am pleased with the result and will make some more. What do other people use as the 'pin'? I used an earring part, but am thinking maybe they sell thin nails which would do the job???)
