The highlight of this card is the FIMO buttons we made with gold clay...ours were quite simple buttons but Jane shows how you can really take any plastic cap to make a variety of buttons. I found you don't want to go too thin (sorry that I broke your button, Angela!) but 1/8 " worked perfectly!
This was a simple card we made at my hostess club get together this month. What I love about the card is that it will be suitable for pretty much any occasion - you just need to stamp the sentiment as needed. It's also a card that would be pretty easy to mass produce.
Card Materials: all stamps and papers from The Angel Company
Stamps: Watercolor Plants
Accessories: DCWV green paper, Aspen Cardstock, Martha Steward border punch, ribbon (Joanns), FIMO buttons, Mango Madness and Tea Leaves VersaMagic Chalk ink
I love the VersaMagic chalks inks for second and third generation stamping like in this card. These inks are so juicy and vibrant that the colors are beautiful in real life!
Do you have a favorite tutorial bookmarked? Share the link here in the comments by Sunday, Mar 21 (midnight) and I will have a drawing for the stamp set, Little Things, retail value: $8.95.
Hope you have a great weekend...we'll be going from a baseball game in the afternoon to Tuxedo and long gown affair in the evening on Saturday. How crazy is that?

Yes, your button is very cool, but...
One of the things that I love about TAC is that they sell ribbons and buttons to match their papers - you always have coordinating stuff at your workshops.
