Creative Moments Challenge 10 Buttons and Bows, Design Team creation ... ... ...


It’s the start of a new challenge at Creative Moments Challenge Blog.  The theme is Buttons and Bows – one of my favourites because I love the texture from buttons and bows.  We have two sponsors this fortnight: QKR Stampede and Fresh Brewed Designs.

 

Please pop on over to the challenge to see the wonderful creations the rest of my lovely team mates have made as well as all details of the new challenge.
Anyways here is the first card I’ve made for this challenge and I have used a Fresh Brewed Designs digital image … …

7"x5" card

A final look

Isn’t it cute?  I really couldn’t help myself I had to make that a red and white mushroom/toadstool – yes I know it’s corny but it had to be done!  The red buttons from my stash and the white bows make it perfect for this fortnight Buttons and Bows challenge.
When I was colouring this image Sheena Douglass was on C&C with her new stamps and H2O’s.  I was so inspired by what Sheena was making that I just had to get my H2O’s out because I’ve not used them for a while and they were perfect for this project – that toadstool is a really deep cherry red!  The rest of the project was a scrap buster.  Bits of red and white polka dot card I couldn’t bin and scraps of green card left over from Christmas!
Things to do, projects to make, posts to type and photographs to be taken plus a back that requires rest and relaxation!  Hope you're all well and having crafty fun!
 
Thank you so much for taking time to come visit me, I really do appreciate it and I hope to visit you all later on this week.
