Well how exciting – this week is my first time for setting the dare over at The Daring Cardmakers. I decided to set the challenge of using buttons on your cards – but it’s not that simple, I want the buttons to form part of the main design of the card, not just be added onto a corner as an embellishment. The inspiration for this is the Papertrey button stamp sets I have – they have a few different sets available, and there is part of the image missing where you put a button. Since I’ve used my set a lot recently, I didn’t want to repeat myself (or make life too easy for myself!!), so I decided to draw a stalk and leaves and insert buttons for cherries.
The papers are from Pink Petticoat and the flower is made from scalloped circles of tissue paper scrunched up and attached with a brad.
I can’t wait to see what ideas you all come up with for my dare, and don’t forget to check out the amazing cards that the DT have created this week
