Button He(ART)

Morning and this is a card just for fun-I fancied having a go at the buttons/washi tape challenge at UnstampaBelles and had after a "quick"(yer right)look at pinterest fancied the idea of a tree with button leaves falling-a simple idea-but after a look through through stash and and about five different ideas tried I found a couple of heart dies(Memory Box and The Works)leftover from other projects and covered the heart with little white buttons-then found one with a heart in it so put that in the middle-onto 3-D foam pads and an oddment of red paper.

Urban Boy at Colour Crazy

Morning and this is my first post as a Guest Designer at Colour Crazy Challenge and we are sponsored by The Paper Shelter-the challenge is ATG and must have a hand coloured image.I used Urban and Modern Boy-you get the B.paper/ a pre-coloured image and image to colour.

I thought the B.paper looked a bit arty sooo I used the pre-coloured image behind the fussy cut image and coloured similar to look like a double exposure?The added stamps and dies are craft mag freebies/plastic pointer and tiny pearl from stash and I used a white gel pen on image and B.paper.
