Paper Players 66: Clean and Simple with Buttons

This week's Paper Players challenge was to create a card that was clean and simple that also used buttons. I have tons and tons of buttons. So, I made two cards. Sorry, hope you don't mind two cards!

Live in the Sunshine with Button Flowers


The Stamps
SU Pursuit of Happiness
SU Circle Circus

The Colors
Whisper White
Basic Black
Pumpkin Pie
Tempting Turquoise

The Embellishments
SU Designer Buttons (Brights)

The Tools
SU Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die

As I was making the first card, I was inspired to use buttons as pennants. This was a great way to use up all of those buttons I have.

    These are both precious! Glad you made two so that we could enjoy double the cuteness! Love how you created a simple card with the first card and layering the buttons on top of each other is such a fun idea! And, of course your second card is super fun with the stringing of the buttons. The colors go perfectly with the DSP! So happy to have you share with us at The Paper Players!
