The sweet and talented Tanja was February's hostess over in Da Sistahhood, and she challenged us to make cards using two of her favorite things - flowers & buttons. (Two of my favs as well, although my button supply is very lean.)
I love the nostalgic feel of the images in this set - so versatile and very fun to color. After coloring it with Copics, I "vintaged" the image by sponging over it with Creamy Caramel, then distressed & inked the edges as well. OMGOSH! I think this K&Company paper pack is absolutely TDF! It's like flipping through a vintage wallpaper book! I'm even going to frame some for art for my still-bare craft room walls.
Here's a close-up of the flower/button detail for Tanja! Oh, do you like that ribbon? I found it at the Dollar Tree and bought 7 different spools because they're the perfect scale for cards. (Hmm, I wonder if they have any left.) So there you have it! Hope Tanja and Da Sistahs like them!SHEESH! I'm still having a hard time believing that it's March already! It appears that I lost a few weeks somewhere along the way, but that's okay, because it means that the first day of spring is *that* much closer! March 20 is the first day of spring AND also Daddy's birthday, so in honor of both, I'll be putting up my Spring-A-Licious Blog Candy details this Sunday when I post my KitCat Card. I hope you'll stop back for both!
Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a stamp-tacular day!

Hi Susan! Wow, I've scrolled through your cards and they're all super! You are very creative. Thanks for you kind post on my blog. I'm just getting into the use of buttons but I'm really liking what they do for a card. Love your latest card with the button-center for your flower, and that paper is so pretty. Beautiful card!
