New & Old Buttons with New & Old sets

Hi! Did you like that title? Well after making a card using an old retired set, I decided that I better get out a NEW set and use buttons....so, I did! This has the new Circle Circus set that wasn't on my list to buy but after seeing a few ideas, I thought I would try this one out....I stamped on Tempting turquoise and punched out and glued it on the bottom of the buttons. If you haven't tried this, you need to!

The Fancy bulk buttons that we can purchase (demonstrators only) include these beautiful colors! The turquoise flower button and the celery green buttons!

I haven't done much with the Flamingo paper, so I pulled it out of the nice new plastic folder and decided to play with it! I think I shy away because of the BRIGHT combination of colors that this one has.

The colors are Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Summer sun...(bright, eh?)

I scalloped the edge of the designer paper and then folded over the edge so that backside of the paper shows through.

The buttons were tied with Linen thread and then mounted to the embossed cardstock (embossed with the NEW FOLDER - Finial Press #115963 $7.95)

I think of summer and tropical colors, so I pulled out Just Beachy, and stamped this one..I think this set might be retired....but...the alphabet is new...the JUST ALPHABET. It is an interesting one to mount since the letters don't mount up in order....but I love the style and (it is reasonably priced too at 19.95)
