Challenge at Creative Knockouts the theme for this round is to use BUTTONS Our Sponsor for this challenge is  The Paper Shelter

Hello, for my card in this challenge, I am using Teddy Bear with Flower. I used colored pencils on the bear and markers on the flower.  The sentiment and green frame was cut with a stitched stacked flag die.  The printed cs is from Simple Stories and I actually found a box hidden deep in the closet filled with different edging scissors.  I couldn't help but use one ... they are from Fiskars - I think I'll leave them out for fun.  I totally forgot they were in there.  Out of sight, out of mind.   I added the larger button in the flower center and 2 more in the bottom corner to go with the theme.

The Cat's Meow

Hello - its time for a challenge at CREATIVE KNOCKOUTS The theme for this round would be BORDERS our sponsor for this challenge is  Sparkle N Sprinkle

For my card, I'm using 'the cats meow'  and I blended colored pencils on the image.  I then wanted to use a Martha Stewart border punch on the white cs but totally blew that by not centering correctly (it's been a while)  so I trimmed it down and then had to literally cut a frame using MFT stacked rectangles in rose gold cs.  I dropped the gold frame over the image and then trimmed any white that was showing.  I then went back to my Martha Stewart border punch and punched rose pink cs to frame the frame LOL then onto a black cs front panel.   The flowers are paper from Recollections and the leaves were cut using a Spellbinders die with of course green cs.   That was more work then it had to be.  I put some crystal stones scattered and a couple of cream neuvo drops as well.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:
