Buttons are everywhere- they're on your shirt, on your jacket, on your pants...and they're on our cards!! Here is the card that I created using buttons:
The card base is textured More Mustard cardstock. The image is stamped onto GP110 cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored using my beloved Copic Markers. I sponged around the edges using Real Red ink, then layered it onto Basic Black. While rummaging through my embellishment box for buttons, I found this forgotten-about red Magic Mesh and thought it would be perfect for this card. I found some red and yellow buttons and using craft glue dots, attached them to a panel of Basic Black and textured More Mustard cardstocks. I stamped "Hot Rod Classic", then punched it out using SU's Modern Label punch, and sponged around the edges using Real Red ink. I used pop dots to attach it to the card. Originally, I had planned on using the buttons to make a traffic light, but, alas, I had no green buttons...This was a fun challenge and I think I'll use this card for my brother's birthday in January. He's a classic, just like this car! :)
Now, make sure to hop on over to the other Bombshell Design Team members blogs and see how they used their buttons!!

Love how bright and shiny those buttons are! That mesh makes a great accent too. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore this card. It brings such warm memories of ages past, when times were simpler, not so crazy busy and as a population we were more carefree and relaxed. It also reminds me of the countless male relatives who were obsessed with cars. Thank you for putting a gentle smile on my face today.
