buttons

A try at a distressed page. See the story on my page 2.

As the green paper had a distressed look I decided to try an appropriate style.
This is completely alien to my normal style. I see this as a story.

On this lo I made some 'flowers' by cutting circles with some Dovecraft creative scissors (bubbles), inking the edges, then adding a button in the centre. I sewed the button in place before attaching it to the lo with foam tape. The word 'First' is the first word in a double layout called 'First Love'.

This is the third lo I made using this kit. There is a good selection of different buttons in the kit to choose from. I chose two big and two small buttons of the same colour on this layout. The title is made up of a felt 'a' and the remainder of the title are rub-ons.

The flowers on the LO are Stampin Up from the Vintage Vogue collection stamped onto the patterned paper using different coloured ink and the thread is Stampin Up linen thread.The f is from the same collection as is the leaf border at the top, bottom and side of paper.
Wasn't very creative with the buttons but loads left over as well as c/stock and p paper!

Here you go with instructions for no less than 3 layouts using the September 2010 Club Kit

Used the lace to border the corner of the mounting and two layers to make a flower after inking the lace. Ribbon indicates hidden journalling. As the lace lent itself to something soft and feminine I tried to step out of my normal style and create a shabby page.
