Country Runner girly card (Cute as a Button image)

Hi Crafty friends,

Here's another card I created for the magazine Australian Papercraft Essentials. There's a picture of the cover below.

The cards all needed to be created using Cute as a Button images. I thought I'd create a scenic card for this running girl and as you can probably tell, I doodled some grass and flowers at the top of the "hills".

I used a lot of pearls to make this shaker card, some inside, some outside in flourishes.
