Sea Life with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
I have a card to share using the Night Papers with the Sea Life
red rubber stamp
and the dies by Blue Knight Stamps.  Instead
of using the pattern paper as a night sky, I'm using it
as a deep ocean water scene.


I used the backside of the pattern paper for this look.  I added some
distressing by running the pattern wheel over the pattern paper with
acrylic white paint.  The  dies are added with dimensional adhesive and
I love the pop it gives the card front.



The sentiment is added using One Line Sentiments/blessings.
I added white acrylic paint to the edges to anchor the ocean
floor.  Looks like bubbles too!
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L

Beached Canoe with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
I'm sharing a scenery card using the Beached Canoe
by Blue Knight Stamps.  I usually color with
panpastes and Distress Oxide ink but on this card I'm 
using colored pencils, colors and panpastels.  The pencils
and colors are by CARAND'ACHE.  They are a Swiss made
product.  Blue Knight sells these at StamperCon and other
stamping shows that they participate in. 


I'm also using one of last One Line Sentiments sets I did for Blue Knight  
Stamps called Did you know~.   Really sweet set and goes with just about 
any theme.  

I used the panpastels to do most of the coloring and then highlighted
with the pencils and colors.  My goal is to make my project
pleasing to my eye:):) 
All adhesives used are by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Backyard Blooms Cards with Buttons Galore & More~

Hi there!!
Sharing my last project using the Backyard Blooms 
Novelty buttons by Buttons Galore & More. I did a 
couple of mixed media cards and added buttons
and Jelly Beans as embellishments. Really love the
look and added dimension it gives the card front.


These were super fun to create and the background mix worked perfect
for the button mix that I wanted to add.  


The center of the flowers have the Jelly Bean half pearlz. They are easy
to set also. I used Dual Tip Glue Pen by HomeHobby by 3L.
All other adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.


I hope you come away with a love for buttons.  They look 
good on everything.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Kleenex Covers with Buttons Galore & More ~

Hi there!
I have another fun project using the Spring Value pack
and the Patriotic Value pack by Buttons Galore & More.
I did two different Kleenex Covers using the novelty buttons
for decorations.





I used a pattern, that I made, to get the dimensions for the
Kleenex Covers.  This was my starting point and I adjusted
as I needed to.  I used fabric glue but you sure could sew them
with a machine or hand sew. 


I know this is rough :):). The sides are going to be long but just trim
when you make the center fold.  I hand sewed the buttons on
 with coordinating embroidery thread.   


They make really cute gifts!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
