Buttons ans Bows

Morning Peeps, a scheduled post as we are away on holiday so fingers crossed Blogger is not having one of his hissy fits.

It's Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts where our host is Kath and she has chosen the theme of 'Buttons and Bows' and for the winner we have a some new release dies from Tattered Lace as well as a bundle of ribbons. This is the first of three fortnightly challenges during the busy holiday season.

It only occurred to me as I started writing this scheduled post that it's Poppies once again, clearly I more obsessed with them than I realised and certainly have an unhealthy amount of Poppy stamps.

This one is fairly new, I didn't buy it when it was first released but of course before long I had to have it. I stamped it using Distress Markers direct to stamp and used a die to cut the top section so that some of the Poppies popped up over the aperture. To do this I cut around the Poppies in the centre and then placeed the bottom of the die behind them so only the top and side are cut with it. The sentiment is also Penny Black and I mounted the top on foam to place over it. Some ribbon across the bottom and tiny buttons to embellish. 

Have a good weekend and please do pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration on display from my teamies.
