Allsorts Challenge 530/531: Buttons and Bows

Hello and welcome! It's time for a new theme at Allsorts challenge. And just so you know ...the next three challenges will actually each run for 2 weeks to cover the rest of summer, then in September we will be back weekly.

This week Kath is hosting and she picked the theme of Buttons and Bows. Hope you can join us for your chance to be entered into the prize drawing. We have a great prize package to give away by 

Tattered Lace.

I made a fairly simple looking card using a clear stamp set by Penny Black - Sunny Wishes as the focal point stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed using Hero Arts ultra fine clear embossing powder on Bristol Vellum paper.

I started out by masking the edges of square piece of Bristol Vellum paper using Washi tape, then inked with Tumbled Glass and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks. With the mask still in place I stamped the image and words border then removed the mask.




I watercolored using a distress marker (Worn Lipstick), then fussy cut each one of the flowers. Some of the flowers were adhered with pop up glue dots, the smaller ones we glued on with Tombow Multi Mono liquid glue. I wanted to highlight some of the words from the script border stamp, so I stamped it again on white card stock using black ink and cut out some of the words. Two buttons and a bow tied with Natural Jute twine finish off the card.



Here is a close up.
