Bah humbug week 5 Buttons and bows

This week over at Bah humbug you have to make a card with buttons and bows. Tonight I have managed to make two cards.  For my first card I used a Penny Johnson stamp I picked up in the sales last month. I thought it was so cute. I have coloured the image with promarkers then paper pieced the little girls nightie and the bows on the bed. I added glitter to the bows and the stocking. You have to have some glitter for christmas. I also flocked the teddy to make him more like a real teddy. Icut the image on my cuttlebug cut slits in the sides and threaded my ribbon throughand wrapped it around the card. Then added my little buttons. I think the bp was off a free pad and papermania.

My Second card I decided to make a DL card I've not made one of these for years. I decided to use craft card and Red Ginham ribbon. I used Jane Nestarenko mice stamps coloured with promarkers and glitter. Mounted them onto Gold mirror. The Metal flower at the top was a broken brooch. Iwanted the whole  card to look like a hanging decoration so used the button for the dangly bits inbetween the baubles.

    Oh Christine, so love your cards. I just love the LO on the DL card, would of never have thought of setting it out in such a clever way. I have a couple of Jane's mice RS so must have a go with them on a DL card, DL cards is somthing I tend to steer away from as find them quite difficult to LO and it look 'balanced' I totally love your 1st card, so pretty. Love the 'nesties' not seen that shape before. Just lovely how you have used the 'butons and bows' on both cards.

    Both cards are real stunners. The first is a beautiful image and I love the gentle colours - perfect. The DL is just such a great idea especially for using those smaller stamps in the Jane N sets. Fantastic.
