Today, we are focusing on BUTTONS! My favorite embellishment right now! These are great for layout, cards, altered items. Sometimes they just add that perfect touch that make your finished product fantastic. I am focusing on cards and what you can do with buttons to finish off that card. Here is my first example:
By adding buttons to the middle of my tree, the tree now has some dimension that makes it pop as the focal point on the card. Great little embellies!
My second card uses buttons for the actual flowers. This is a stamp I have, but you could easily hand draw the flower stems or use patterned paper strips or ribbon to make the stems.
The buttons add that pop of dimension that makes the flowers come to life! Add some twine in the middle of the buttons and you have yourself a great little card!
Now HOP on over to all the other DT member blogs to see what they have done with buttons. And don't forgot to leave a comment. Have a great Friday!!
