A tangerine flower



I went with flowers and texture and made this card


The flower is a button with the shank cut off. The butterfly is one from my stash of left overs. The stem is made by knotting some embroidery thread. To finish I added faux stitching and some rick rack braid. 

A couple of years ago a friend bought me a little gift from a flea market. It was a piece of cardboard with a variety of odd buttons packed onto it. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts that I have received and years later I am still finding uses for them.


I will also be entering this at Rainbow card challenge where it is

Supplies:
Card stock: 160gsm in white
Pentel fine liner in black
Flower Button
Liquid Pearls in platinum
Rick rack braid in green
Embroidery thread in green
Butterfly from my left over stash

Masculine birthday card

I am a great puruser of fetes and markets. There is lots of rubbish up for sale but every now and again you will stumble onto something worthwhile. The button on this card is such an example.
I found it at a fete for a retirement village close to my home. It was part of a very old sheet of buttons. All different but white. The sheet looked like something a sales rep would take to a prospective customer for them to order from. There are some really lovely buttons on there, a cute little hat with a ribbon and the sweetest little lamb. I snapped the entire thing up for next to nothing. The price was so ridiculous that I made a donation of my change. It was money well spent.

A friend turned 50 this weekend. This is the card I made for him.


I distressed the edges with red ink and the white star is one of the buttons that I bought, I just cut the shank off.

Here was my inspiration

Supplies:
Sizzix 4 Dies Stars, primitive 657910
Red and white stripes washi tape
Star button
 Card stock:  160gsm in white and navy
Ink: Colorbox Scarlet
