Things are back to normal now which means I could get into my craft room yesterday evening and make this weeks entry for Less is More which is a recipe this week and we have to use
BUTTON OR RIBBON
(or plurals thereof)
I went straight to my 'Everyday Button Bits' set from PTI and chose the topiary tree ...
I've used two colours of chalk ink on the pot to give a more 3D effect and found three different sized buttons for the topiary, which wasn't easy even though I have lots of buttons !!
The embossed panel on the base card is a PTI 'text' Impression plate which I've edged with narrow red ribbon and raised up on foam tape , because I didn't have enough ribbon to make a small bow I used three black pearls to embellish instead and compliment the black sentiment :)
I was also busy last night making my last Paper Smooches card for Wednesdays GD post and I think it has to be my favourite of the lot and I will be announcing the winners for the three giveaway stamp sets on Wednesday too :)
My Sister in Law loved the jute bag filled with goodies yesterday and the weather was kind to us for the family BBQ party. Hannah made a gorgeous Birthday cake for her too and I'm sure she will put more pictures on her blog today but here is a peek at the decoration on top....
...... so sweet
Thanks for stopping by today .... back soon X
