MMSC54 and Crafty secrets


Priscilla's midnight madness challenge sketch this week called for lots of buttons which I don't have but the strips of gems seem to work. I used a pretty Cotton scrap from
Crafty Secrets for the image, trimmed in zig zag copper peel off borders and a satin butterfly and prima rose over some ribbon. cuttlebug background on gold mirror card.

Wow, this is beautiful, love the flower and butterfly embellishments. How can you not have buttons? I have my Mom's button box, I used to play with it as a child.
