Crafts and Me Stamps Challenge: Buttons and Bows (Use Both)

The Dynamite Digi design team over at the Crafts and Me Stamps' challenge blog wants to see you use BOTH buttons and bows on your projects.  Marianne Designs is sponsoring this challenge and offering a wonderful prize of a die and clear stamp to a randomly selected entry. You can find out more about this challenge here.

I've used Little Miss Deelish digital stamp by Hannah Lynn on an easel card to share birthday wishes.  Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image.  It wasn't until I was adding color to this sweet unicorn that I discovered all of the candy treats tied to his backside, head and legs.  He's covered in gummy bears, lollipops, ice cream cones, candy canes, and wrapped mints.  Who'dathunkit?!?!?!  Now I understand where the Deelish comes from.  LOL!!!  I tried to draw attention to the candy pieces by adding Lavender, Yellow, and Xmas Red Stickles to the candies.  The unicorn's horn, mane and tail are covered with Stardust Stickles.  Magenta, Firefly and Yellow Stickles covers the butterfly and fairy wing.

 

I've stamped gummy bear and wrapped mint images from a Stampin' Up! All Wrapped Up Accessories set, a lollipop from a SU! Very Punny set and an ice cream cone from a See D's Recipes set.  I added a bit of Copic color to my stamped candies then ran them through my Xyron "X."  I turned the strip over and ran them through my Xyron "X" again to have the stickiness on the top of my candy then covered them with Transparent Crystal Glitter Ritz for fun glimmer and shine.

 

 

 

Bazzill cardstock is layered with Doodlebug Designs Baby Girl Baby's Breath and Basic Grey Romani Archangel patterns to create my easel card.  A Lifestyle Crafts Large Circles die provides my circular element.  Faux stitching with a Zig pure brown marker borders my layers.  A Satin Sensations 5/8" Citrus satin ribbon provides a border and bow.  A stamped birthday sentiment from a Close To My Heart Just a Number set is lined at the top of my card front.  A few Memory Box pistachio green jewel stickers are lined around my image and sentiment.  Recollections mini roses with a medium bright green paper rose are clustered at a bottom corner.  A few white flower buttons are tied with My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up "Cute" Twine.

 

Here's a view of the front of my card showing how I've used Little Miss Deelish.

 

The inside of the card is designed similar to the front and includes a May You Touch stamped sentiment from Rubber Cottage.
