Using a Few Buttons

I made this little pocket for an exchange gift.  I used an assortment of buttons to frame the cross stitch.  Almost, if not all, of the white buttons are mother of pearl; the others are not. 

The little memo portfolio that I found determined the design that I stitched and the colors that I used. 

This worked out so well that I may make a second one as a Christmas gift.  I may use fewer buttons because they make the pocket quite heavy.

Nice job! I like the colors you selected. They have that elegant old-world look.
