Just Magnolia Challenge - Week 14 - Buttons

Friday again and you all know what that means dont you...another Just Magnolia challenge, you all seemed to like my sketch last week I was so relieved when I saw all the entries coming in I was having nightmares there would be 2 entries lol...thank you all so much and what a thrill it was to see all those fantastic pieces of work made with a sketch I had designed....this week at Just Magnolia our challenge is to add buttons to your work, this challenge was right in my comfort zone the only problem was figuring out which of the new Summer kit to use as they are all so gorgeous, once I had decided to use this Bobunny scrapbboking paper though the ice cream girl just sorta fitted...isnt she just so cute with her ice cream and gorgeous boots and shorts, great to colour too, I coloured her with my usual mix of mediums and cut her out and raised her up to add a bit of dimension, this stunning paper is from the Alissa cut outs paper and the one I used on the inside is called Alissa look at me, I just love Bobunny as you probably guessed...to finish the card I used a twill ribbon which says 'cute as a button and sewed it into a bow adding a button then I added more buttons from stash, I love those little cute heart bttons, and finished with a rose, for a change I finished the inside of my card and added another button and a 99p stamp of an ice lolly.

I hope you are all going to join in again this week and head on over to Just Magnolia and see what the rest of the DT made their work always amazes me so much xxx
