and another:

 This is a 5.5" square card made with Neenah solar white card stock, Matted with Mrs. Grossman's textured pale yellow card stock, The pink cs is Bazzill and the green is Stampin' Up. the colors aren't exactly as they seem here, but the green and the yellow are pretty close. I used some vintage white lace, and ribbon from Ribbon and Bows Oh My! for my bow. (which is a little darker than the green paper, but not as dark as it looks here). Scalloped border punch by Stampin' Up, Embossing folder-Stylized flowers by Cuttlebug, and 1.5" scalloped circle punch by EK Success (I crumpled this up really well, then snipped it at each scallop about .25" the 4 quarters, I snipped a little further in. I used glue dots, snipped the shank off this great faceted button and used glue dots on that as well) Prismacolor pencils, and Momento tuxedo Black ink. Stamps: sentiment-Stampin' Up, Balloon Donkey by Whiff of Joy (party animals collection) 

(smudges seen are on camera window it turns out, sorry)
