Buttons and Bows, Oh My!

Hi All!  Are you ready for the whirlwind of posts?  I have something to share everyday for the next seven days.  Some days two posts, one day I even have three.  Sorry!  Hopefully you’ll like them!  🙂

It’s time for another challenge with Kraftin’ Kimmie.  This week Andrea has challenged us to use our buttons and bows.  If you’d like to play along, please post a link on Kimmie’s Challenge Blog so you’ll have a chance to win a free Puppy Love stamp!  (Speaking of the challenge blog, did you see the little snippets of previews for a special Kraftin’ Kimmie release?  We’ll be posting samples beginning Tuesday!  Stay tuned!)

I Am Woman Hear Me ROAR

Is she a sassy thing or what?  I thought I’d sweeten her up a bit with some delicately patterned paper and pretty ribbon.  Did it work? lol.

I colored her with Copics and added ground/grass with pencils.

I wanted to add a tiny bow to the back of Polly’s dress.  (That’s Polly the Bar Wench…hee, hee…cracks me up!) 

I first tried to tie the bow myself but it didn’t look that great.  So I used the smallest ‘setting’ on my Bow Easy.  The bow is just a tad bigger than the bow on the actual stamp, but it works. 

The sassy sentiment to go along with this sassy lassy is on the inside of the card.

Be sure to check out the other design team samples on the Krafty Blog!  I’ll be back in a bit with this month’s JiFFy challenge! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
