The Pink Elephant

Into week 6 at The Pink Elephant and this week we would like you to use BUTTONS on your project! We love to see all manner of crafts at TPE, so don't think it's limited to card makers only....it makes a refreshing change to see something a little different ;-D

Having said all that, i have a card for you today!

Buttons can be used in so many ways and have become a firm favourite with us card makers! I am lucky to have rather a lot in my stash :) and decided to use them for the stalk and centre of my chipboard flower!
All patterned paper is from my much adored Basic Grey........ i am having fun using this wonderful new 'Porcelain' collection at the moment......i know i say it every time but the colours are beautiful and such gorgeous patterns too!

Other supplies are from my mountain of stash, along with half of a Nestie die cut label and also a scalloped circle from a Marvy giga punch.

I love that so many of you are enjoying our challenges each week and it's exciting to hop around all your blogs to see what you've made..............hope you can join in this time and show me some different ways of using up my yummy buttons!
Thanks for your visit today and all being well, i'll be back tomorrow..... ;-D
