Pastel Green Present Bear

I felt like making a card with more of a pastel background.  Not really sure why, but this card evolved from that desire:

The card is for the challenges at:
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes

Stella Says Sketch - Sketch 131

Penny's Paper - stitching - real or faux
http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.co.nz/2013/03/pennys-challenge-117-stitching-real-or.html

The background paper for this card comes from my stash.  I liked the pattern on the bottom of this paper and felt it would give the lower part of this card some interest.  The image is from Bugaboo.  I have added some "stitching" around the image with a Black Soot Distress Marker.  The ribbon is some grosgrain from American Crafts.  I added a button to the ribbon as I felt it needed something more.

    I'm glad you went with your instincts. The card turned out beautiful and I really love that huge button. It just tops everything off.
