Bitty Button Flowers

For this card I decided to use something from the Summer Mini which I had to have and which I have hardly used, my Bitty Buttons.  I used the sketch from the Technostamper and because I used my Big Shot it also fits this weeks challenge at Late Night Stampers.  I must admit just about every card I make these days uses my Big Shot, I don’t know how I survived without it.

 I stamped my image from the Simply Said stampset using Old Olive ink onto Whisper White card.   I punched the flower shapes from Rose Red card using one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  I used my 2-way glue pen to attach the matching Bitty Buttons to the punched shape and then used mini glue dots to attach them to the image replacing the stamped flowers with the punched ones.   I attached the image panel to the Crumb Cake layer which has been embossed using the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder.  I cut a strip of Daffodil Delight card approximately 1.5cm wide and inserted the ends into the Modern Label Extra Large punch to decorate the ends.  I attached this over the image panel and inserted and Old Olive brad into each end.   I stamped “Birthday Wishes” from the Occasional Quotes stampset (Level 3 Hostess Set) onto Whisper White card using Rose Red ink, punched it out with the Word Window punch and attached it to the Daffodil Delight strip.  The whole piece was then attached to the Daffodil Delight base card.

This is a close up of the buttons and the punched shapes.  You can see how much dimension they give to the card.  I’m not sure why I haven’t used these before, probably because I was hoarding them for something special. 

Bye for now, Kris.
