Sweet Dreamers' Challenge- Who's Got My Button?

The Sweet Dreamer’s challenge for this week is “Whose Got My Button?” We were challenged to make a card using buttons. I don’t use buttons a lot, but I do LOVE buttons! My grandmother used to have a button can. Inside that can were buttons of all shapes, colors and styles, and I used to love playing with them! When I was little, I would spend hours matching up and sorting and lining up all of the fabulous buttons that she had. I have no idea whatever happened to her button can, but I sure would love to have it now!

Anyway…here is the button card that I made for the challenge- in honor of my grandmother’s button can!


The image is by Magnolia. I don’t know the name of it as I got it as an RAK from a fellow blogger. I colored this sweet little girl using my Copics. I finally used my Nestabilities and cut the image out (I have at least 5 or 6 sets of Nesties and had never used them…so, finally, today, I decided to be a ‘user’ and not a ‘collector’ of stamping accessories!) As soon as I can find my Stickles box, I’ll Stickle the bee’s wings. The card base is SU’s Basic Black with a layer of Kiwi Kiss, then a layer of Basic Grey’s Lemonade DSP. The green organdy ribbon is from Offray and the buttons are Lemonade from Basic Grey, which I attached to the card using glue dots. I think this card turned out pretty cute. What do you think??
