CAS-ual Friday -Buttons and Twine

Have you checked out Papertrey Ink's newest release?! It may be my favorite yet! Full of garden-y goodness and fabulous fruits (can you tell that alliteration is a favorite of mine!?)

After looking through the design team's projects, I was inspired to create something fruity.

Enter: the current CAS-ual Friday challenge.

This week's challenge is to use buttons and twine in a clean and simple creation.

Now, typically, buttons and twine are used as embellishments in cardmaking. Never being one to follow directions, I took this challenge as an opportunity to use buttons and twine in a wacky sorta way.

 

I gathered up a ton of purple buttons to create a little bunch of grapes! It was really simple! 

Now for the twine...it's there...I promise!

I used Twinery Baker's Twine in Honeydew to make those little spiral vines. Here's how I did it:

•  With my fingers, I rubbed craft glue onto a length of twine. Then I wrapped the still-tacky twine onto a skewer.

 

• Within 15 minutes the twine was firm and I removed it from the skewer. I had to wiggle the skewer a bit, since the twine had adhered to it. The result was a perfect little "twine vine" for my bunch of grapes!

 

I finished off this clean and simple card with the perfect sentiment from Denami Designs - which is so fitting, since Denami is this week's CAS-ual Friday sponsor!

Thanks a bunch for stopping by for some Damask Love! Have a wonderful day!
