Buttons Galore & More and Poppystamps Blog Hop ~

Hi, Connie here with Buttons Galore & More and Poppystamps.
 Thanks for joining us for this inspirational blog hop.  That is what we are hoping for :).
  If you are hopping with us, you should have reached me from Nancy Penir's blog. If you’d like to start at the beginning and get all the details you can find them at the Poppystamps blog or at Buttons Galore and More blog

I have been creating with some beautiful stamp sets, by Poppystamps and some
 gorgeous buttons, by Buttons Galore & More.

Both of the cards were stamped on water color paper.  I used a water brush to add the color to the stamped image.  I started out by stamping the image in the color of ink that I wanted to fill in the image with.  Both of the cards were stamped with Distress Oxide Ink.  Both were colored in with Distress Oxide.

Products used:
Poppystamps: Sending Scribbles
Buttons Galore & More: 28 Lilac Lane/Queen Bee Embellishment Bottle
Other: water color paper, water brush, Distress Oxide Ink by Ranger, Jet Black Archival ink by Ranger. Divine Twine, cardstock.

This card is a simple card but so cute. It is easy to create. Real buttons
 were added to the card front for dimension and to accent the stamped buttons.
To give a finished look, both cards were splattered with black ink.

Products used:
Poppystamps: Sew Fond Of You
Buttons Galore & More: 28 Lilac Lane/Queen Bee Embellishment Bottle
Other: water color paper, water brush, Distress Oxide Ink by Ranger, Jet Black Archival ink by Ranger. Divine Twine, cardstock.

    Like the creations. Like the coloring. Like the use of buttons. I recently started to sew. I had a 1986 Singer sewing machine that I found hard to thread & use. My hubby bought me a Brother that was easier to learn to use & has a self-thread needle mechanism that helps a lot.
