Vintage Ribbons and buttons

Over at Addicted to Stamps and More they are having a vintage challenge, and this fit perfectly with my lovely wallpaper I got from my dad. This amazing floral panel is cut straight from a border, and all I had to do was add the ribbon and button! I made the ribbon flower but cutting a 1.5inch circle, adding strong double sided tape and folding the ribbon on itself (think I may do a tutorial on this when I have more time) and then securing with a staple in the centre, then I added a button and some twine. The little sentiment is an art deco one from the front of a Docrafts magazine my MIL bought me for Christmas. I hope you like this, and I also hope that my photography is improving, I've been reading the tutorials over at Damask Love, and I hope they're working!
This card is also being entered into the A Blog Named Hero - Vintage challenge and Make My Mondays Ribbon and buttons challenge
