Am I in the wrong place?

No you are not in the wrong place; I did make this three layer card which includes patterned paper, buttons and thread!
I have pinned and admired several cards which line up strips of patterned paper to make lovely designs.
A Christmas one, a Floral one and a similar idea
Mine is a little more patchwork looking as I didn’t stick with an analogous colour scheme. The background for my card is made with the stamp Dots in Space which I inked in red, blue, green and yellow then stamped once on another panel before making the muted impression you see above. I used the same inks to sponge the edge of the pennants and the background panel. I know the sentiment really needs a cupcake to go along with it but I liked the size and shape so it got the job. I’ll be back with more of my usual soon…
Supplies:
Stamps: Friendship, Dots in Space(Penny Black)
Inks: Memento Lady Bug, Bamboo Leaves, Dandelion, Danube Blue & Versafine Spanish Moss (Tsukineko)
Cardstock: Penny Black Mix & Match Papers Olive Grove, Madison Designer Paper

Love it! As always, you put your own touch on this one, and it’s great. TFS
Layers! Who knew?!
Great idea and well done.
Would make a neat Father’s Day card as it reminds me of men’s ties. Like the card and design.
This is so different than anything I’ve seen you do. I love the color mix. When I first looked at the card before I noticed the buttons and read your post, I thought they were neckties! LOL!
Different? Yep..eye candy? Yep!! Love colours really great card – hugs..Denise (UK) x
Love all your pins!!!!
Delightful card! Nice dotted, pastel-ish bkgrd for your bright colored strips. Like the buttons, too. Sometimes change is good. As in this “case” … get it? Heehee!
It’s fun to leave the box sometimes, isn’t it? I really like this one, and don’t feel the sentiment needs a cupcake at all. I also think this one would be fun to make again with the banners angled so they were tie-shaped for a masculine card!
Fun & Fresh! I see ties and the buttons are like tie tacks. Love that you showed us you’re capable of stretching your comfort zone. I knew it was the right place. The inky dots on the background told me so. The patterned paper you chose is really eye catching. Well done!
I am convinced you could do any style you want, Heather. Very fun and sweet card.
Like some of the other comments, this card reminded me of ties, such a great idea for a masculine card – it is usually so hard to do anything different.
