Bright Posies




This was my daughter-in-law's birthday card. The colors are very bright and cheerful just like a birthday card should be. The flowers were stamped using white craft ink, embossed with white embossing powder and then punched out with the 5 petal flower punch. Buttons seem to be the one element that everyone is using and I decided to use them for the center of the flowers. Each button has either red or silver cord threaded through the button after all, we can't have naked buttons! The buttons are attached to the flowers with mini glue dots and then the flower is attached with dimensionals.
