Button Lady

I was in Nantucket and went into this little "shanty" that they used for fishing. This sweet old lady turned it into an antique store and filled it to the brim!! I went in for a search of buttons and found a nice variety! The sweet lady was so happy to have someone put her buttons to good use that she gave me a wonderful price! Soo....I made this card for her with one of the buttons from her store. I can't wait to mail it to her. The stamp is from The Greeting Farm. To color the deer first I distressed it with Ranger Ink then added a bit of color with my Copics. Have a great weekend!

My Nephew

A little sweet birdie told me that my nephew is following my blog along with my niece so I made this card for him to say thanks.

Here are the deets on the card. I was inspired by the new cling stamps and the wonderful sneak peeks at Hero Arts. I wanted to make a more masculine card for him and I love this "bird" from Hero Arts. I stamped the "grass" in Versamark and on the craft and bent the stem to give them more movement. Then I stamped the grass on different neturals and cut out and pop dotted. Then I colored with white pen and applied with glossy accents. The background I used my Cuttlebug and added whit to the dots with my white pen. I Added faux stitching...still on vacation and I didn't bring my sewing machine. I hope he likes it.

Have a great weekend! Kathy
