Bah! Humbug! - Buttons and Bows

Over on Bah! Humbug! this week our friends have challenged us to use buttons and bows, now for me that combination doesn't conjure up Christmas but not to be beaten I have had a bit of a play and here is the result.

The snowman I bought in January when Sir Stampalot had a sale, as soon as I saw him he was sold! I have use Promarkers and some extra fine glitter which I'm not sure shows very well but it does make a difference. The buttons on his belly are covering four drawn ones but they were too big to use four. The backing paper is pale green but looks white because of the light and finally I have tied a big red bow around the bottom. There isn't a greeting on it at the moment because I can't find the one I want to use so it will stay bare until the stamp shows up again.

CD Sunday - Buttons and Bows

Good morning all, yet another Sunday so it means we've got a new challenge for you over on CD Sunday, this week it's BUTTONS AND BOWS. As usual you can make anything you like and you can join in even if you have only used a simple element as long as something comes from a cd.

Please make sure you let us know which cd you have used and don't forget we have only got 3 weeks until our 1st sponsored challenge so dust off your cd's and lets see those entries.

This week I have used the MCS cd A taste of lavender and paper lace, I don't have the full version just the one that was offered for free on their web site I just had to pay the postage, unusualy for me I haven't played about with the image and just printed it off as it came, the two little flowers are from a bag of buttons I was given years ago and the bow is from a huge spool of white ribbon which I keep and usually colour to match my project.
