Less is More - buttons and bows

Here's that new background stamp again, used for my Less Is More card this week.  I'm very drawn to the dramatic black & white LIM cards but I ended up adding a splash of colour with the red buttons.  Yes, they are different shades of red!  I had the button box out looking for buttons for a cardigan and decided the card was a good way to use up odd buttons.  Once the buttons were there I had to add a second ribbon also in red. 
My card is for the following challenges:
Less is More - buttons or ribbons
Simon Says - use newspaper
For Fun Challenges - use two different ribbons

    DO you know I didn't spot the gingham ribbon at first. It's a super card, I love the effect of the black and white, but the red just lifts it a little more.
    Thanks so much Anne.

    Hi Anne, Gorgeous card, love black and white but the bright pop of the red mixed with the b/w gingham's brilliant:0) I'm in love with the cover a card stamps and the newspaper one is on my long list that I need, you've used it very well, Gay xxx
