My kind of sewing.

The Dragons Lair Designs Facebook Fan Group Digi Stamp challenge for this month features a flowers and buttons design.

SAM_2973(watermarked)

Materials used:
Dragons Lair Designs Digi Stamp (available by request from Facebook Page)
X-Press It card
black card
previously made shaving foam technique backing paper
acrylic greetings stamp
various small buttons
glossy accents
Copic pens

I have manipulated the image on the computer to get a row of buttons above and below the flowers. The whole image has been printed on X-Press It card and the flowers coloured with Copics.

The trimmed image has been layered onto a piece of the shaving foam paper I made a few days ago then matted onto black card before being attached to the base card.

I stuck different sized buttons ontop of the image ones for a bit of texture and ran a black pen around the edge of the coloured panel to look like stitching.

Finally I added a drop of glossy accents to the centers of the flowers and stamped the greeting underneath the topper.


I can see those flower designs working as applique on a cushion or the hem of a childs summer dress, but it's not something I will be doing myself.

If I have in anyway inspired you to have a go at the Dragons Lair challenge please pop over to the Facebook page where you can find all the details of the challenges and freebie's on offer.

Thanks for visiting. Take care.

    Think this might be one of your best ever! Love the background, and since I used to collect buttons, always love to see them used on cards. The dimensional buttons look way cool over the thread swirls and work so well with the row of bright flowers. Such a pretty & well designed card. TFS (I'm pretty much a traditional Christmas person too!) Hugs
