Yes, yes, yes it's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop time...yippeeeee!! :) Here's the inspiring theme this month: BUTTONS! How fun! My first thought was "OH GOOD- I only have about a million of them, I can finally use some up." My second thought was, "uh oh...HOW do I use them creatively?" Well, here's my card and you can decide if it's creative or not, but just the same I like it! I suppose this one WILL be a hand delivered one though...it's pretty darn heavy! :)
I secured all those fab buttons with Scor Tape.
I did not run the white cardstock through the Cuttlebug folder using a machine, instead I used my rolling pin and gently rolled back and forth, because I wanted the impression to be more subtle than had I used my Big Shot.
