Button Bits Revisited

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me today, for the May Papertrey Ink Senior DT challenge. This time around we bring you the Button Bits stamp set collection! I do love all four sets in this collection, but for today's card I've chosen to work with Blooming Button Bits set.  Here's what I came up with...
Using the flower trio image, I began by stamping a border of Smokey Shadow flowers onto a Rustic White cardstock panel.  Then stamped a sentiment.
Since I stamped a lot of flowers I really didn't want to over do it with the button centers.  So, I began by coloring each flower center in with a few Copic Markers (BG11, R02 & V95).  Just a quick circle, didn't have to be perfect.  Then to create more of a focal point around the sentiment I chose to embellish a few flower centers with coordinating buttons.  Once I finished with the stamped panel, I attached a Smokey Shadow cardstock strip to a Rustic White card base and then layered the stamped panel using dimensional adhesive.

Well, that's it from me today. Now be sure to visit the other Papertrey Ink Senior Design Team girls for more Button Bits goodness...
Thanks for stopping by today!

    Very pretty! I love the colors you chose to work with! I'm still confused as to how the smokey shadow cardstripe was adhered to the card.

    A really effective and striking card, I think this would be so cute to make in loads of different colours, just change the copics and buttons and you have a totally new look. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing xx
