Blue, Buttons Bling Card for Stampin for the Weekend.

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a good week!

It’s Friday again and time for a new challenge over at Stampin for the Weekend!!

The theme for this two weeks is................

Blue, Buttons and Bling!!!

So here is my card to show you!

I normally find it difficult to make boy cards and to use buttons! I hardly EVER use buttons. I just can’t think of a way to arrange them in a creative way I like! 

But with this card I managed pretty well! 

I used an old Sugar Nellie stamp and colored it with the following Copics:

E00, E21 and R20 - for the baby’s skin 

B05, B02 and B000 - for the baby’s nappy and the blue lines of his hat.

Y15, Y11 and Y00 - for the yellow on his hat.

G17, G14 and G12 - for the flowers on his hat.

W3 - for a shadow around the stamp.

I found a few new ideas for buttons and I think this one looks best! 

Punching holes in the paper, then putting the ribbon through and make a knot.

And for the finishing touch, I put buttons onto every second knot.

I wrote “It’s a Boy” in a dark blue color, on a light blue card stock, and then stuck it on a yellow piece of paper.

This is a little squirrel I cut out of some of the paper.

Please go and take a look at Stampin for the Weekend, look at all the beautiful DT cards and see if you can take part in our challenge!
