Buttons and Bows

Are you old enough to remember that song from the old Bob Hope movie "Son of a Paleface"? If not do a google, and you'll have your earwig for the day. I have to say Roy Rogers was my hero growing up, and he looks darned good in the clip I watched. Jane Russell was looks pretty darn good herself, and Bob Hope is just Bob Hope.(You know being old isn't such a bad thing with memories like these). Okay so what does this particular song have to do with a card? It's simple. This week's challenge on Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog was to create a card using Buttons and Bows, set by Sassy Ann, who while not quite as old as me, I think might remember this song. I, of course, had to use a recent purchase I made at Sassy Cheryls Store(I need at least a weekly fix). This image is appropriately named "Bee Mine", and I'm going to be sending this to my BFF. Her family owned and operated an apiary. She now has a guest house that's full of Bee Memorabilia and is named appropriately enough The Honey House(converted from a concrete building they used to store sugar in for feeding the bees). I've colored her with Copics, and I love the rich deep reds. Coloring with them is a bit tricky though.

The papers are from Sharia Braxton's Shapes of Love kit(she's no longer blogging and designing kits). I unfortunately didn't have any red buttons in the shapes of hearts, and the challenge was going to be over before I could get to Hobby Lobby or Michaels. Instead, I decided to make my own buttons, by cutting some of the hearts out of the DP paper and punching a double hole in them and popping them up. Works for me. Sure hope it works with the DT.

So glad to see you stopping by, and I love comments.
