HAPPY FRIDAY! This has been a week of all weeks... and I have to say that I am looking forward to tomorrow when I can enjoy teaching a class... whew.. a week of all weeks...
Well this card is for two challenges...
MMSC54 another great sketch challenge by Priscilla... I have never used so many buttons on a card... 16 total... Oh my GOODNESS!!!! But it is not as heavy as you would think... but I will make sure I hand this card to someone, vs. mailing it... I also made it a little bit larger than my normal 5x7 cards.. this one is 5.5 x 8.5... and so the buttons are okay on it..
I also am using this card for F4A13 where Wendy asked us to make a card with BUTTONS and BOWS... or anything that we had never done... So I think that this also fits into that grouping too.. I have never made a card with 16 buttons on it either... wow.. .that is a lot of buttons...
The other part of my card is the block print.. I love making new block prints... this one was made from a sheet of 'rubber' that would remind you of a large thin eraser... I love it.. it was very easy to cut... and was done in about 2 hours... then the fun started with dragging out the acrylic paints, getting it all over everything... and then making a lot of really fun prints... I have never made any two alike.. they are always a little bit different, because when I go to print a new one, I add a little bit more paint... and it is always of a different color.. that is why the studio and I start to blend... and look the same.. a huge mess.. but so much fun. I made about 20 this time... and still have quite a few left... but make them for cards to send to people, and also to take to nursing homes for the ladies to use as cards to mail to their family and friends... A very good way to still be able to create and yet help others...
So Thank You Wendy and Priscilla for two great challenges...
Hope you all have a wonderful day... and enjoy making cards...
Thanks for taking a look at my card...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
