Say it with…buttons and bows

Posted by on November 18, 2011 in Annabelle Stamps, Challenges | 15 comments

Friday has rolled around again, so that means it is time for another challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.

Buttons and bows…who doesn’t love to use buttons and bows? I went very clean and simple for this one. I am entering this into the current Wee Memories Challenge #76 – Birthdays and Parties. The sentiment is from the AnnaBelle Stamps “Tree-MEN-dous” set.

And while I was at it, I made another card, but my inspiration for this came from the CAS queen Cristina Kowalczyk.

I used the “Dotted Flowers” stamp set to create this one.

Supplies:

[Happy Birthday]

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Tree-MEN-dous” stamp set
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black
Card: AnnaBelle Stamps Pre-cut Kraft card square
Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps natural cotton twine, Basic Grey buttons galore – Brights, Glossy Accents (to adhere the buttons), Martha Stewart score board

[Wishing you Sunshine]

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps “Dotted Flowers” stamp set
Ink: Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Versacolor – Bamboo, Lagoon Blue, Camellia
Card: Regal Craft Card – White textured, Xpress-It Blending card, Bazzil card stock – raisin
Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps natural cotton twine, Basic Grey Button – red, Glossy Accents (to adhere the buttons), foam dimensionals
