Buttons and Bow at Craft-room challenge

So pleased to see the challenge here at Craft-room Challenge as I needed to make a little gift for a friend and it gave me an idea. I had bought a few note pads weeks ago and didn't know what to do with them so I used one of them to make this rustic looking wall hanging.


It started out as two bits of card and the note pad and with a bit of distressing, cord, buttons and bows it ended up as a little gift.

Thank you for the challenge.

We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
