Mo's Challenge # 152

All Buttoned Up!

Mos' Challenge this week is to use buttons on your card or project. That should be fairly easy, don't you think?!

I've used one of Mo's sweet little baby fairies for my card. They are all just so adorable!

This one is my favorite of all... I think lady bugs are so cute! The red roses were made from a Cheery Lynn die...so easy! The die cuts have small holes in the middle, so I threaded and glued them on a stamen which I then used to poke through the card front and secured on the back. I bought the die on sale from an on-line shop that was going out of business. After using it, I wished I'd bought the other sizes! Of course, everything was sold out when I went to buy more!

Image: "3 Baby Fairies" from Mo's Digital Pencil

Tools: Copics, Spica pens, Cuttlebug with Cheery Lynn rose die, Nellie Snellen embossing rose punch set, wire

Papers: SU! Red, Black, and Gable Green, Neenah white, Digital DP from Jak Heath

Embellishments: Red satin ribbon, Buttons, Tiny button brad, Flowers

Hope you'll enter the challenge this week for a chance to win a gift certificate to Mo's shop! So make something wonderful using one of Mo's images, and don't forget the buttons!

Check out the rest of the DT for some wonderful inspiration!

Always happy when you stop by!

My Cards

I make all my cards 5" x 7 "...it's the size my customers like, and I have plenty of space to create! You may notice that my cards, for the most part, aren't overly elaborate. I love the fancy look, but since I sell most of mine, I try to keep them flatter for ease of mailing
I use SU! card stock almost exclusively. They have changed and added so many colors over the years, and I have so many of their colors that are no longer available, that it doesn't make sense for me to attempt to name them any longer. If you really want to know what a certain color is, just ask, and I'll try to figure out which one it is.
Also, all the white card stock I use to print my images on is Neenah Smooth White. I love using it with Copics! It does bleed through, but, since I mount all my card fronts, that's not a problem.

I use Paper Trey Ink's white card stock for all of my white card bases. It's very sturdy.
