Out of a Hat Challenge 12
Buttons is the challenge this week at Out of a Hat Creations so do pop over and join in with us if you have time we love to see what you make of our challenges.
I was wishing I had kept my old box of buttons that I had collected for years but before I joined blog challenges I sent them to the charity shop. Now I see the word buttons all over the place and have started a collection again as they are so expensive to buy new. We do have 2 carboot sales each week in the summer near to where I live so now I have started to get quite a few buttons again and I am thrilled-nice to be easily pleased isn't it?
This is a fairly large modern frame that I have had for a while. I stamped with different colours and stamps to make a background then I crotcheted and knitted some flowers to make a bouquet. All it needed was the buttons as centres and a bow to turn it into a bouquet. Add a quote and a couple of flutterbys and there you have a picture.
Do visit Janet's blog, Sandra's blog and Florence's blog to see how they made their samples for this challenge always beautiful work from the girls
Hope you will join us in the challenge and show us what you make.
I would like to enter this in the Unruly Paper Arts Challenge as well
Morning Chrissie. Stunning project. The flowers are brilliant! love the stamping. Beautifully put together. The pound shop some times sell bags of buttons which are quite reasonable. Great crafting with you this week.
