TIOT # 45 ~ Buttons

♥

For this week's TIOT we are to use buttons on our cards. I love buttons, so this was right up my alley!
I've used the wonderful image Cherry Blossom from the Sampler Edition #2 by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD, colored with Prismacolor pencils. It's extra fun to use buttons when you have coordinated patterned papers and buttons! Here I've used a sheet from the BasicGrey Indian Summer pad, and buttons to go with it. (These buttons are now on sale in Susana's shop!)
I used Scrapper's Floss on the buttons, I colored a piece of white with a green ProMarker.

I have a 'thing' with buttons, I can never put them on a card without a thread or a ribbon through them, it feels unfinished. I have the same 'thing' with flowers, I always have to embellish the center in some way. If I put a button or a flower on a card with out these additions, then there's something very wrong with me! *LOL* Do you have any 'funny obsessions' like these? I'd love to know! Oh, I have one more, I have to ink on the edge of papers and die cuts, sometimes (almost never) it looks better without the inking, but it's sooooo hard not to do it!!! *LOL* Please note, that this is how I feel about my own cards, when I see cards made by other card makers, I do not have the same feelings and thoughts. I'm weird, yes, I know...

On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful cards by the rest of the DT ladies!
