Tiny Buttons

The entire time I was working on this card, I had the Tiny Bubbles song running through my head!!  Shopping Our Stash had a challenge to dig deep into your stash and create with old-school favorites like eyelets, brads, ribbons and/or buttons.  I have thousands (no exaggeration) of said items in my hoard.  

We created a similar card in the Elle's Studio class from Crop and Create using stamped flowers.  I used a couple of punches for the flowers and added the coordinating buttons as the centers, and some tiny flower buttons instead of bling.  I used scraps of same paper I used for the flowers to make the rainbow accents.  I popped up the "friend" with a bit of foam tape to make it the same height as the buttons.  Fun!!!

Love the colors!!!  Here is my version:

The aqua looks more blueish than greenish in my photo...  Love this vintage wood button - perfect for this Deconstructing Jen layout!  I am sharing this with The Color Throwdown # 376, and Shopping Our Stash 1 2 3.  One button, two solid papers (white and kraft), and three patterned papers.  Come join us at Words 2 CRAFT By for our More Beginnings than Endings challenge!!
