Buttoned Up Love

Okay-I lied. There is some stamping on here but not unless you know about VersaMark ink. I used the clear kind to ink up the chipboard flower after I had colored it with Making Memories Acrylic paint. I then added a sparkly embossing powder-which all that heat started to warp the chipboard.

I used the same embossed paper I used on the last post to make the front of this card. The base card is ordinary cheap black card stock-no texture at all. I cut a few pieces of ribbon and inserted them under the right side before I tacked the paper down. I found this large antique button in a jar with a bazillion other sad buttons. I wasn't sure what to do beyond that until I was digging thru some embellishments and found this odd paper clip thingie. Then I wondered-how do I attach it? I just tapped the edge of the button with Acrylic Accents-you can barely see its sheen. I let it set overnight-and voila! Instant flower.

This one is a bit bulky, so if you try it, make sure you use a padded envelope to mail along with extra postage. Gotta keep the PO in business so they can smush our mail more and more.
