I was in need of a quick "Thank You" card and this cute image from Bugaboo Stamps was perfect. While I was planning it, I looked at the challenge theme from Catch the Bug and it was a recipe challenge: 1 button, 2 images, & 3 layers.
When I printed the image, I did it twice on leftover bits of white CS, reversing one of the images as I did it. The sentiment is part of the image but I cut it off the reversed image so that it was only on the other side. I colored with ProMarkers and cut one of the images with a simple rectangle die from Spellbinders. I hand cut the other image so that I could merge it with the other image.
A tiny bit of the cut off sentiment still showed so I decided that was where I'd put the button. I search my collection of buttons, looking for a large one. I laced it with a scrap of jute cord and tied that into a bow. In my stash, I found the pink and tan, plaid paper and, even though it was only a scrap piece, I knew it would be perfect for the first background layer. To make the second background layer, I mounted the plaid scrap onto ruby pink CS, and that gave me the 3 layers! Voila' - fast and easy.

I was inspired by the sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday
but I flipped it so that I could use it horizontally.
